Easy Two-Ingredient Chocolate Truffle
Ingredients
- 200 grams condensed milk
- 80 grams cocoa powder
Optional additions
- diluted coffee
- pinch of salt
- nuts
- cocoa powder for dusting
- gold dusted pistachios
Preparation
Gently warm the condensed milk until tiny bubbles appear
Ensure condensed milk is at room temperature before warming to avoid sticking
Remove condensed milk from heat once bubbles are seen
Sift the cocoa powder to remove lumps before adding
Gradually add the cocoa powder to the condensed milk and mix well
Continue mixing until the mixture thickens into a truffle consistency
Line a pan or tray with cling film or plastic to avoid sticking
Fill the lined pan with the truffle mixture
Shape the truffle by folding the plastic and pressing with hands for even layers
Refrigerate the truffle for 2 hours
Dust a board or plate with cocoa powder to prevent sticking
Remove the truffle from the refrigerator and place it on the dusted surface
Remove the plastic from the top and dust more cocoa powder on top
Trim the edges to achieve a perfect rectangle or square shape
Cut the truffle vertically in half using a large knife
Cut horizontally in half and then make additional horizontal cuts to form squares
Gently round the edges of the squares to create a pillow shape
Place the truffle pillows on a serving plate and dust with additional cocoa powder
Tips
The sweetness of condensed milk balances the bitterness of cocoa powder
You may garnish with gold dusted pistachios if desired
Gold dust and pistachios can be found at bakery shops or prepared by blanching pistachios in warm water and rolling in gold dust
Alternatively, drizzle condensed milk on top for extra sweetness
