Ingredients
-
60 grams (¼ cup) unsalted butter
-
240 ml (1 cup) sweetened condensed milk
-
90 grams (½ cup) brown sugar
-
150 grams (1 cup) white chocolate, broken into pieces
-
½ teaspoon sea salt
-
300 grams (2 cups) good quality dark or milk chocolate, for coating
-
Crushed peanuts or hazelnuts, optional (for garnish)
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
-
Add the sweetened condensed milk and brown sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
-
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate and sea salt until fully melted and incorporated.
-
Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish or small tray lined with parchment paper. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
-
Once chilled, scoop and roll the mixture into small truffle-sized balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
-
While the truffles are chilling, melt the dark or milk chocolate in a microwave or double boiler.
-
Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, then place back on the tray.
-
Optionally, sprinkle with crushed peanuts, hazelnuts, or a light pinch of sea salt.
- Let set at room temperature or refrigerate until chocolate is firm.
Notes
-
Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor and texture.
-
Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
- You can substitute white chocolate in the coating for a different variation.
