Homemade Chocolate Truffles (3 ingredient easy recipe)

Ingredients

• 180 g sweetened condensed milk ((3/4 cup))
• 60 g cocoa powder ((1/2 cup; unsweetened))
• 16 g milk powder - optional

Instructions

1. 1

   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.)

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Use a rolling pin (or a glass wine bottle) to flatten the mixture into a square (about 5 x 5 inches).

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Serve immediately or keep the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
