Homemade Chocolate Truffles (3 ingredient easy recipe)
Let's make some velvety, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate truffles that require only 3 simple ingredients – sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and milk powder.
Equipment
- Kitchen scale (Or measuring cups)
- mixing bowl
- Silicone spatula
- Plastic Food Wrap
- Cutting board & Knife
- fine mesh strainer
Ingredients
- 180 g sweetened condensed milk (¾ cup)
- 60 g cocoa powder (1/2 cup; unsweetened)
- 16 g milk powder - optional (2 tbsps; You can substitute it with the same amount of cocoa powder.)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and milk powder (*adding milk powder can enhance the chocolate truffles' flavor and texture, but it can be replaced with an equal amount of cocoa powder). Use a silicone spatula to stir until well combined. (The mixture will be thick and fudgy, so do not use a whisk to combine the mixture.)
- Transfer the mixture to a large sheet of plastic food wrap, fold the four edges of the plastic food wrap inward to securely wrap up the mixture.
- Use a rolling pin (or a glass wine bottle) to flatten the mixture into a square (about 5 x 5 inches).
- Place the dough in the freezer for about 30 minutes until it firms up slightly. Alternatively, refrigerate it for 2 hours to a week if you plan to enjoy the chocolate truffles later.
- Use a fine mesh strainer to sift a thin layer of cocoa powder over a cutting board to prevent sticky. Remove plastic food wrap from the dough, place the dough on the dusted cutting board, sift a thin layer of cocoa powder over the dough, then cut it into 16 small squares.
- Serve immediately or keep the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
