Suggestions for Ingredient Substitution
For condensed milk, coconut condensed milk offers a dairy-free alternative that maintains sweetness and richness. Use the same amount as regular condensed milk, but expect a subtle coconut flavor. Cocoa powder can be replaced with carob powder for a caffeine-free option, though the flavor will be milder and slightly sweeter. Use a 1:1 ratio, but consider adding a touch more sweetener if desired. While not a direct substitution, melted dark chocolate can replace both the condensed milk and cocoa powder for a simpler truffle. Use about 300g of dark chocolate, adjusting the quantity to achieve the desired consistency. This option may require refrigeration before shaping the truffles.

Ingredients
- 3.5 oz cocoa powder (unsweetened, for rich chocolate flavor)
- 8.5 oz condensed milk (I use Longevity brand for this recipe)
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by gathering your ingredients: 240g of condensed milk and 100g of pure unsweetened cocoa powder.
These are all you need for rich, chocolatey truffles.
Step 2: Heat the Condensed Milk
Pour the condensed milk into a pot and place it on the stove over medium heat.
Allow the milk to heat until it starts to bubble lightly and foam.
As soon as it begins to bubble, promptly remove it from the heat to avoid any burning.
Transfer the warmed condensed milk into a bowl for easier mixing.
Step 3: Incorporate Cocoa Powder
Sift 100g of cocoa powder into the hot condensed milk, making sure to sift it three times to prevent lumps in the mixture.
Mix the cocoa powder into the condensed milk until well combined.
Repeat the sifting and mixing process until all the cocoa powder is incorporated.
The resulting mixture should be thick but remain soft in texture.
Step 4: Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl containing your cocoa mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 2-3 hours.
This chilling period will allow the mixture to harden, making it easier to shape into truffles later.
Step 5: Shape the Truffles
After the mix has chilled, prepare a surface by spreading some cocoa powder on it to prevent sticking.
Remove the hardened mixture from the refrigerator and cut it into even pieces, around 15g each, or to your preferred size.
Shape each piece into truffles, rolling them into circles or any shape you desire.
If any cocoa powder falls off while shaping, sift more cocoa on top to prevent further sticking.
Step 6: Finish and Present
Finally, arrange your finished truffles in a box or wrap them nicely if you intend to give them as gifts.
Enjoy your homemade truffles or delight someone else with this sweet treat!
