Chocolate Truffles With Condensed Milk

Ingredients For Chocolate Truffles With Condensed Milk

• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  I like using semi-sweet because they balance the sweetness from the condensed milk. You still get a rich chocolate flavor without being too sugary.
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  Sweetened condensed milk gives the truffles their creamy texture and that classic condensed milk chocolate taste.
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  A little vanilla goes a long way. Real vanilla makes the truffles taste homemade and special.

Instructions For Chocolate Truffles With Condensed Milk

1. Melt the Chocolate

In a large heat-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and the can of sweetened condensed milk. Melt them together using either the microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring each time) or over a double boiler on the stove.

2. Stir in the Vanilla

Once smooth and creamy, stir in the vanilla extract. This gives the truffles that extra touch of flavor.

3. Chill the Mixture

Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.

4. Roll into Balls

Scoop out small amounts of the mixture to make 1 inch balls. Roll them into balls using your hands. If the mixture gets sticky, dust your hands lightly with cocoa powder.

5. Coat the Truffles

Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut. Whatever you love best.

6. Store and Enjoy

Keep the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for about 1 week for the best freshness. They’re best enjoyed chilled because they get soft pretty quickly. If you are going to freeze them the best way is to freeze them on a baking sheet lined with parchment and then once they are frozen, put them into a freezer safe container.

FAQ Chocolate Truffles With Condensed Milk

Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?

Yes, you can. Milk chocolate will make the truffles much sweeter, so it depends on your taste. I like semi-sweet because it balances out the sweetness of the condensed milk, but milk chocolate works if you want a softer, sweeter flavor.

How long do these truffles last?

These truffles keep well in the fridge for about 1 to 2 weeks in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months. Just let them sit out at room temperature for a few minutes before eating.

Can I make these truffles without a microwave?

Definitely. If you don’t want to use a microwave, just melt the chocolate and condensed milk together over a double boiler on the stove. Keep stirring until smooth and melted, then follow the rest of the steps as usual.

What can I roll the truffles in?

You can roll them in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, sprinkles, crushed nuts, or even shredded coconut. This is the fun part because you can make each batch look a little different and match the season or holiday. Another way I love to make these tasty is to add orange instead of vanilla and roll them in candied orange peel.

Do these taste like fudge?

A little bit, yes. They’re creamy and sweet like fudge but softer in texture since you roll them into bite size pieces. The sweetened condensed milk gives them that classic chocolate flavor that’s rich and smooth.

Tips For Making Condensed Milk Truffles

Chill the mixture before rolling

After mixing the chocolate, condensed milk, and vanilla, place the bowl in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This helps the mixture firm up so it’s easier to roll into truffles without sticking to your hands. If you skip this step, the mixture will be too soft and messy to handle.

Use a small scoop for even truffles

A small cookie scoop or melon baller works great for making truffles all the same size. Not only does it make them look prettier, but they’ll also chill and set more evenly. It also saves time compared to shaping each one by hand.

Roll in toppings for extra flavor

Once your truffles are rolled, coat them in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut. This not only adds flavor and texture but also makes them look more fancy so that they are ready for gifting or parties.

Store properly to keep them fresh

Keep your truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. If you want to store them longer, you can freeze them in a freezer safe container and thaw them in the fridge before serving.

Try different chocolate for variety

This recipe works with milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Each one gives a different flavor and sweetness level.

These truffles with sweetened condensed milk are proof that you don’t need a long list of ingredients to make something delicious. They taste like little condensed milk chocolates, and you can roll them in so many fun coatings to make them your own. I hope you give these truffles a try and enjoy them as much as I do. If you love the recipe, please share it with friends and family so they can enjoy a batch too.
