Ingredients
Scale
- 395g can of NESTLÉ Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 30g (1/4 cup) NESTLÉ Plaistowe Premium Dutch Process Cocoa, plus extra for dusting
Instructions
- Heat the Mixture
Begin by placing the sweetened condensed milk and the cocoa powder into a medium saucepan. Set the heat to low, and stir continuously to combine the two ingredients. The heat will help the cocoa dissolve completely into the condensed milk, creating a smooth mixture. Keep stirring for about 8 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken gradually. You’ll know it’s ready when it becomes noticeably thicker and starts pulling away from the sides of the pan. - Cool and Set
Once the mixture is thickened to the right consistency, transfer it into a bowl and set it aside to cool slightly. After a few minutes, place the bowl in the fridge for about an hour. This step is crucial as it allows the truffle mixture to set, making it easier to shape into perfect balls. - Roll the Truffles
After the mixture has cooled and firmed up, it’s time to roll your truffles. Using two teaspoons, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth, round balls using your hands. Don’t worry if they’re not perfectly shaped—truffles have that charming, handmade look. If you prefer a firmer texture, simply refrigerate them a little longer before rolling. - Dust with Cocoa Powder
Once your truffles are shaped, it’s time to add a dusting of cocoa powder. This step not only adds an extra layer of rich cocoa flavor but also helps to give your truffles that classic, elegant finish. Gently roll each truffle in extra cocoa powder, ensuring that each one is well coated. - Serve and Enjoy
Your 2-ingredient condensed milk truffles are now ready to be served! The dusting of cocoa adds a beautiful contrast to the smooth, chocolatey center, creating an irresistible treat. Whether you’re indulging yourself or sharing them with friends and family, these truffles will definitely impress.
Notes
- Cocoa Powder: If you don’t have Dutch-processed cocoa powder on hand, you can use regular unsweetened cocoa powder instead. However, Dutch cocoa adds a smoother and richer flavor, so if possible, it’s worth using it.
- Flavoring Options: You can easily change up the flavor of these truffles by adding a few drops of vanilla extract, almond extract, or even a splash of orange or coffee flavoring. Experiment with different flavors to create your own signature truffle!
- Coatings: While cocoa powder is the classic coating, you could also roll the truffles in finely chopped nuts like hazelnuts or almonds for an added crunch. Shredded coconut, powdered sugar, or even crushed candy canes during the holidays would make for unique variations.
