Condensed Milk Truffles Chocolates Recipe
Let’s dive into the process of making these delectable treats.
Ingredients
To make these chocolates, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Milk: 600ml
- Sugar: 160-170g (depending on how sweet you want your chocolates)
- Butter: 15g
- Vanilla Essence: 5-6 drops (optional but recommended for a delightful flavor)
- Cocoa Powder: 130g (100g for the initial mix, 30g for adding later)
Making Condensed Milk
The first step in this recipe is making the condensed milk. While you can buy ready-made condensed milk, making it from scratch is more satisfying and allows you to control the sweetness.
Heat the Milk: Pour 600ml of milk into a heavy-bottomed pan and place it on the stove over medium heat.
Add Sugar: Gradually add 160-170g of sugar to the milk. If you prefer sweeter chocolates, use 170g.
Dissolve the Sugar: Stir the mixture continuously to dissolve the sugar completely. Ensure there are no sugar particles left undissolved.
Simmer the Mixture: Gradually boil the mixture over medium-low heat. Stir frequently to prevent the milk from sticking to the pan and to ensure even heating.
Add Butter and Vanilla Essence: Once the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture starts to thicken, add 15g of butter and 5-6 drops of vanilla essence. The vanilla essence is optional, but it adds a wonderful flavor to the condensed milk.
Continue Stirring: Keep stirring the mixture until it starts to boil. Be vigilant to prevent it from overflowing by adjusting the heat between medium and low as needed.
Achieve the Right Consistency: The key to perfect condensed milk is patience. Continue to simmer the mixture, allowing it to thicken and turn a pale yellow color. This process requires a bit of time, but the result is worth it.
Turn Off the Heat: Once the mixture has reached the desired consistency, turn off the gas. Congratulations, you’ve successfully made condensed milk!
Making the Truffles
Now that you have your homemade condensed milk ready, it’s time to make the truffles.
Prepare the Cocoa Powder: Place a sieve over a bowl and sieve 100g of cocoa powder into it. Sieving the cocoa powder helps to make the truffles smoother.
Mix the Cocoa Powder with Condensed Milk: Pour the homemade condensed milk into a bowl and gradually mix in the sieved cocoa powder. Stir the mixture until it turns dark and begins to form a mass.
Add More Cocoa Powder: Add an additional 30g of cocoa powder to the mixture. This might make the mixture slightly dry and challenging to mix, but with a bit of effort, you’ll achieve the perfect chocolatey mass.
Prepare the Chocolate Plate: Take a plate and cover it with plastic wrap. Transfer the chocolate mixture onto the plate and tap it gently to flatten it.
Chill the Mixture: Wrap the chocolate mixture in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for about 40 minutes to let it cool and firm up.
Coat with Cocoa Powder: After 40 minutes, take the chilled chocolate out of the freezer. Sprinkle a generous amount of cocoa powder on a plate and coat the chocolate in it. This adds a delightful finishing touch to your truffles.
Shaping the Truffles
Once your chocolate mixture is ready and coated with cocoa powder, it’s time to shape and present your truffles.
Cut into Pieces: Using a sharp knife, cut the chocolate into bite-sized pieces. You can shape them into squares or rounds, depending on your preference.
Final Touch: If you want your truffles to look extra appealing, you can shape them further by rolling them into perfect rounds or squares. Gather truffles of the same size together for an elegant presentation.
Enjoying the Truffles
Your handmade condensed milk truffles chocolates are now ready to be enjoyed.
Whether you savor them alone or share them with loved ones, these truffles are sure to delight. Their sweet exterior and even sweeter interior make for an irresistible treat.
