Equipment

  • 1 Small saucepan
  • 1 Sifter
  • 1 Spatula or spoon
  • 1 Small pan or container for chilling
  • 1 Knife and cutting board (or spoon for scooping)
  • 1 refrigerator

Ingredients
  

  • 240 ml sweetened condensed milk 7/8 cup
  • 100 g unsweetened cocoa powder, plus extra for dusting about 1 cup, lightly packed
  • Plastic wrap or parchment for lining

Instructions
 

Prepare:

  • Line a small pan or container with plastic wrap or parchment, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly dust the work surface or a plate with cocoa powder for finishing.
  • Warm the condensed milk: Pour condensed milk into a small saucepan and warm over low–medium heat, stirring often. When bubbles begin to appear around the edges and the mixture is slightly thinned, remove from heat (do not boil vigorously).
  • Sift the cocoa: Sift the cocoa powder into a bowl to remove lumps. Add the cocoa to the warm condensed milk in 2–3 additions, mixing thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated and smooth. The mixture should thicken into a stiff, glossy, frosting-like dough with an intense chocolate aroma.

Transfer and Chill:

  • Spread the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. If your pan is large, fill only halfway to get a thicker truffle block. Cover and refrigerate 2–3 hours (or until firm).

Shape:

  • Remove the chilled block using the overhanging wrap. Dust the top with extra cocoa powder. Cut into bite-sized pieces (or scoop and roll with lightly cocoa-dusted hands). If desired, gently shape each piece by pinching and rolling to make rounded truffles.

Finish and store:

  • Dust each truffle with more cocoa powder, tap off excess, and arrange on a plate. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week (or freeze for longer storage).

Notes

  • Use a good-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for best chocolate flavor.
  • If the mixture is too soft after chilling, refrigerate longer. If too firm to shape, let sit a few minutes at room temperature.
  • For variation: roll truffles in chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or melted chocolate (if you want more than two ingredients).
