🛒 Ingredients
-
240g sweetened condensed milk
-
100g cocoa powder (unsweetened/bitter)
Adjust to taste:-
Balanced: 80g cocoa + 20g chocolate drink powder
-
Sweeter: 60g cocoa + 40g chocolate drink powder
-
-
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, enhances flavor)
-
Pinch of salt (optional, for depth)
-
Extra cocoa powder, for dusting
🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Warm the Base
In a medium saucepan, add the sweetened condensed milk and heat over medium, stirring continuously to avoid burning.
2. Watch for Bubbles
As soon as the mixture starts to bubble gently, immediately remove from heat. This step helps intensify the richness.
3. Add Flavors (Optional)
Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt while the mixture is still warm. These are optional but recommended for added depth.
4. Incorporate Cocoa Powder
While the mixture is hot, gradually sift in the cocoa powder, stirring vigorously until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides. It should look shiny and fudge-like.
5. Chill & Set
Transfer the thick chocolate mixture to a lined container or mold. Flatten and smooth with a spatula or spoon.
6. Refrigerate
Chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
7. Cut & Dust
Once firm, slice into bite-sized squares or roll into truffle balls. Dust with extra cocoa powder and serve!

📌 FAQs
Can I use dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder?
This recipe is designed around cocoa powder, but you can melt dark chocolate with the condensed milk for a different truffle version!
What’s the best cocoa powder to use?
Unsweetened, Dutch-processed cocoa gives the richest flavor. But you can balance it with a bit of sweet chocolate powder as shown above.
Can I freeze these truffles?
Yes! Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Let them thaw at room temp for 10–15 minutes before serving.
How do I stop them from sticking when cutting?
Use a hot, clean knife (run it under hot water and wipe dry) for smooth cuts.
