2 Ingredient Chocolate Truffles Recipe

Introduction

These 2 Ingredient Chocolate Truffles are a simple and decadent treat that require minimal ingredients and effort. With just cocoa powder and sweetened condensed milk, you can create rich, creamy truffles perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for the truffles)
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder (for rolling the truffles – optional)
• 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place the sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds until warm.
2. Step 2: Sift the 2/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder into the warm condensed milk. Using a rubber spatula, stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl.
3. Step 3: Use your hands to press the chocolate mixture into a disc shape. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.
4. Step 4: Remove the chocolate disc from the freezer and unwrap it. Place it on a cutting board, and cut into equal one-inch squares using a pastry cutter or sharp knife. If the mixture is still too sticky, freeze it longer before cutting.
5. Step 5: Roll each square into a smooth ball with your hands and place on a plate.
6. Step 6: Roll each truffle ball in the optional 1/4 cup cocoa powder to coat and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• For a sweeter truffle, you can add a teaspoon of powdered sugar to the cocoa mixture before freezing.
• Try rolling the truffles in finely chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles instead of cocoa powder for different textures and flavors.
• If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more cocoa powder, a tablespoon at a time, until it firms up.

Storage

Store these chocolate truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To enjoy, remove them from the fridge about 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. These truffles can also be frozen for longer storage and thawed overnight in the refrigerator.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these truffles without a microwave?

Yes, you can warm the sweetened condensed milk gently on the stovetop over low heat instead of microwaving. Just warm until slightly heated but not boiling.

Do I have to roll the truffles in cocoa powder?

No, rolling in cocoa powder is optional and mainly adds a nice finish and slight bitterness to balance the sweetness. You can leave them plain or coat them with other toppings like chopped nuts or coconut.

Chocolate Mixture

• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for the truffles)
• 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

For Rolling (Optional)

• 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Instructions

1. Microwave Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour 1/3 cup of sweetened condensed milk into a large bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds to warm it up slightly, making it easier to mix with the cocoa powder.
2. Add Cocoa Powder: Sift 2/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder into the warm sweetened condensed milk. Using a rubber spatula, stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, ensuring you scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to mix all ingredients evenly.
3. Freeze the Mixture: With clean hands, press the chocolate mixture into a flat disc shape and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. Place it in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up for easier handling.
4. Slice the Hardened Chocolate: Remove the chocolate disc from the freezer and unwrap it. Place it on a cutting board and use a pastry cutter or a sharp knife to cut it into equal one-inch squares. If the mixture is still too sticky to cut cleanly, return it to the freezer for additional time.
5. Roll into Truffle Balls: Take each square piece and roll it between your palms into round truffle-shaped balls.
6. Roll in Cocoa Powder and Serve: If desired, roll each truffle ball in the 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to coat them. Arrange the finished truffles on a plate and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.

Notes

• Warming the sweetened condensed milk helps incorporate the cocoa powder smoothly.
• Be sure to sift the cocoa powder to avoid lumps in the truffle mixture.
• If the mixture is too sticky to handle after initial freezing, freeze longer until firm enough to cut and shape.
• Rolling the truffles in cocoa powder adds an attractive finish and a slight bitterness to balance the sweetness.
• Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
