What Is Sweetened Condensed Milk?

Condensed milk is simply thickened and sweetened milk from a cow. It is thicker because the water is removed hence the name "condensed".

What Are Chocolate Truffles?

Chocolate truffles are usually made with the best quality chocolate, rich cream and sugar.

These truffles are less expensive and much easier using sweetened condensed milk. They're basically a ganache that is heated to combine the ingredients, then cooled in the fridge, formed into balls, then roll in a topping of choice.

The name comes from their resemblance to the fungi commonly known as a truffle! However, this treat is nothing like a mushroom, these are rich, decadent, sweet and soooo indulgent!

You Only Need 3 Ingredients!

*full ingredients list and measurements can be found in recipe card below*

1. Sweetened condensed milk: You will want to use the regular sweetened condensed milk for the recipe instead of the low fat or the fat free. It gives it a richer flavor and much better texture
2. Cocoa powder: I like using unsweetened cocoa powder in these truffles, but you could also use Dutch processed if you want a darker color
3. Butter: Please use salted butter for this recipe! The small amount of salt is needed to help balance out the sweetness

How To Make 3 Ingredient Chocolate Truffles

Step 1: Add ingredients to saucepan.

Add all ingredients to a saucepan and stir together until it's smooth and creamy. Use a rubber spatula to ensure the bottom doesn't burn.

Step 2: Bring to bubble and simmer until thickens:

Bring to a bubble, then simmer and stir until the mixture has thickened.

Step 3: Chill truffle mixture.

Add truffle mixture to a plate to allow it to chill.

Step 4: Scoop out your truffles

Use a mini ice cream scoop to roll 1 ounce of the chilled mixture into a ball. Roll until smooth using the palms of your hands.

Step 5: Coat your truffles

Roll your truffle in cocoa powder or chocolate sprinkles, then place onto a plate and repeat with the remaining chocolate.

👨‍🍳Expert Tips

• If the chocolate looks grainy when you're heating it, that means it has seized and you'll need to start over.
• Grease your plate before pouring the chocolate onto it so it doesn't stick
• If the mixture is too sticky, you may want to slightly dampen your hands to help with rolling it into balls.
• Roll the chocolate truffles into your preferred topping immediately after rolling into a ball because they'll still be sticky.
• If you've pre-rolled the truffles and they're no longer sticky enough for toppings, press them gently with your hands because the heat will make them sticky again.

How To Store Chocolate Truffles

You will want to store chocolate truffles with sweetened condensed milk in an airtight container. You can keep them at room temperature for a couple of days or place the container into the fridge and they'll last for up to 1 month.

Can I Freeze Chocolate Truffles?

Yes, you can keep them in a freezer safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months. But for the best texture and flavor be sure to thaw to room temperature before eating.
