Yield: About 20-25 truffles
1. Melt Chocolate and Butter
Place 200 grams of chopped chocolate and 15 grams of unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan with simmering water, stirring until smooth.
2. Mix in Condensed Milk
Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and immediately stir in 150 grams of condensed milk. Add a pinch of salt. Mix until a smooth and shiny mixture is obtained. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
3. Chill the Mixture
Place the truffle mixture in a shallow dish, cover it with cling film, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm enough to scoop out.
4. Shape the Truffles
Scoop out small portions (use a teaspoon, melon baller, or ice cream scoop) and shape into balls with your hands. If the mixture becomes too soft, transfer it to the refrigerator again for a few minutes.
5. Coat the Truffles
Roll the truffles in your chosen coating (e.g., cocoa powder, nuts, or coconut) until evenly coated.
6. Serve and Store
Place the truffles in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving to give them a softer texture.
Tips for Perfect Chocolate Truffles
Here are some tips to make your Chocolate Truffles even more delicious:
High-Quality Chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the truffles.
Firmness: If the mixture feels too soft while shaping, chill it longer or add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the mixture.
Cold Hands: Roll truffles with cold hands to prevent them from melting. Cool your hands briefly if necessary.
Variations

Flavoured Truffles: Add a splash of liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier, rum) or a few drops of vanilla or peppermint extract to the melted chocolate and butter mixture.
Spiced Truffles: For a warm touch, mix in a pinch of ground cinnamon, chilli powder, or cardamom.
Nutty Truffles: For a crunch, roll the truffles in finely chopped hazelnuts, pistachios, or almonds.
