Is anything better than opening up a gift box to reveal an assortment of luxurious chocolate truffles? Those little balls of rich ganache, with their velvety texture and concentrated chocolate flavor, are a perfect bite of indulgence. Whether dusted with Dutch cocoa, espresso powder or crushed nuts, chocolate truffles with condensed milk elevate any dessert table or holiday gathering. They are also so easy to make that you can whip up a batch simply because you’re craving something sweet. Just store them in a safe place, because as soon as the family finds them, they won’t last a day.<\/p>\n
If the idea of making homemade chocolates or words such as “ganache<\/a>” stress you out, you’re not alone. But I’m here to tell you that since this recipe uses just two primary ingredients\u2014chocolate and sweetened condensed milk<\/a>\u2014you’ll find it easier than baking cookies.<\/p>\n Place the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl and into the microwave. Heat on 70% power for one minute, remove the bowl and stir. Continue to cook on high in 30-second intervals, consisting of heating and stirring until the chocolate is melted and blended with the milk. Cover the bowl with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator for at least two hours or until the chocolate ganache is firm but pliable.<\/p>\n Sprinkle cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or the toppings of your choice onto individual plates and set aside. Remove the ganache from the refrigerator and, using a teaspoon, scoop out the ganache and shape it into 1-inch balls. Roll the ball on the plate with the topping of your choosing and set aside. Continue until the ganache bowl is empty and you have a batch of chocolate truffles to enjoy.<\/p>\n Truffles can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to three days or in the refrigerator for a week. We don’t recommend freezing the truffles due to the condensed milk.<\/p>\n Yes, they can. To make this recipe dairy-free use vegan chocolate chips. Additionally, instead of the sweetened condensed milk use cream of coconut instead. Follow the recipe as directed to assemble the truffles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Keeping your hands cold is the best way to ensure the ganache isn’t getting too soft while rolling. Place some ice cubes in a plastic zipper bag. After each truffle, hold onto the bag for several seconds until your hands cool off before rolling the next truffle. Repeat the process as needed.<\/p>\n These truffles are relatively small, but you can stuff a single hazelnut into the center when shaping the truffles for a surprising crunch and nutty flavor. If you choose this route, you can add some almond or hazelnut extract into the ganache for more nutty flavors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You may be tempted to save these chocolate truffles for a special occasion since these smooth, creamy chocolates are divine.
