Chocolate Mixture
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for the truffles)
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
For Rolling (Optional)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Roll into Truffle Balls: Take each square piece and roll it between your palms into round truffle-shaped balls.
- 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.
