  • 80 grams cocoa powder

Optional additions

  • diluted coffee
  • pinch of salt
  • nuts
  • cocoa powder for dusting
  • gold dusted pistachios

Preparation

  1. Gently warm the condensed milk until tiny bubbles appear

  2. Ensure condensed milk is at room temperature before warming to avoid sticking

  3. Remove condensed milk from heat once bubbles are seen

  4. Sift the cocoa powder to remove lumps before adding

  5. Gradually add the cocoa powder to the condensed milk and mix well

  6. Continue mixing until the mixture thickens into a truffle consistency

  7. Line a pan or tray with cling film or plastic to avoid sticking

  8. Fill the lined pan with the truffle mixture

  9. Shape the truffle by folding the plastic and pressing with hands for even layers

  10. Refrigerate the truffle for 2 hours

  11. Dust a board or plate with cocoa powder to prevent sticking

  12. Remove the truffle from the refrigerator and place it on the dusted surface

  13. Remove the plastic from the top and dust more cocoa powder on top

  14. Trim the edges to achieve a perfect rectangle or square shape

  15. Cut the truffle vertically in half using a large knife

  16. Cut horizontally in half and then make additional horizontal cuts to form squares

  17. Gently round the edges of the squares to create a pillow shape

  18. Place the truffle pillows on a serving plate and dust with additional cocoa powder

Tips

  1. The sweetness of condensed milk balances the bitterness of cocoa powder

  2. You may garnish with gold dusted pistachios if desired

  3. Gold dust and pistachios can be found at bakery shops or prepared by blanching pistachios in warm water and rolling in gold dust

  4. Alternatively, drizzle condensed milk on top for extra sweetness
