Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 2 cups of chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Add-ins and Coating
- 1 cup of crushed nuts
- 1/2 cup of cocoa powder
Instructions
- Heat Condensed Milk and Vanilla: In a saucepan over medium heat, gently warm the sweetened condensed milk together with the vanilla extract, stirring occasionally to combine and prevent sticking.
- Melt Chocolate Chips: Add the chocolate chips to the warm condensed milk mixture and continuously stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Cool the Mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly, ensuring it’s safe to handle for the next steps.
- Incorporate Nuts and Cocoa Powder: Fold in the crushed nuts and cocoa powder carefully until the mixture is evenly combined, creating a thick, pliable chocolate dough.
- Chill the Mixture: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for one hour to firm up, which makes it easier to shape into truffles.
- Shape and Coat Truffles: Using your hands or a small scoop, form small balls from the chilled mixture and roll each ball in additional cocoa powder to coat evenly.
- Final Chill: Place the coated truffles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate again until firm, about 30 minutes, before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute crushed nuts with your favorite type like almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts for varied texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth melt.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a festive touch, roll truffles in shredded coconut or colored sprinkles instead of cocoa powder.
- You can double the recipe easily for larger gatherings.
