Hey there, chocolate lovers!
Are you craving something sweet? I’ve got a delicious treat just for you!
Today, I’m sharing my easy recipe for chocolate truffles with sprinkles.
These little bites of heaven are rich, creamy, and oh-so-decadent.
They’re perfect for dessert or a fun snack!
Let’s dive into this chocolatey goodness together!
Ingredient Substitutions
Semi-sweet chocolate chips can be replaced with dark chocolate or milk chocolate, depending on preference. Dark chocolate will result in a richer, less sweet truffle, while milk chocolate will create a sweeter, creamier version. Adjust sweetness with condensed milk if needed. Sweetened condensed milk can be substituted with coconut cream for a dairy-free option. Use a 1:1 ratio, but expect a slightly different texture and coconut flavor. For a lower-sugar alternative, try using heavy cream and adding a sweetener like stevia or monk fruit to taste. Vanilla essence can be swapped with other extracts such as almond, orange, or mint for different flavor profiles. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe, but taste-test to ensure the desired intensity is achieved.

Ingredients

- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (canned)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
- 1/2 cup colorful sprinkles
Step 1: Melt Chocolate Mixture
Begin by setting up a double boiler.
Fill the bottom pot with a couple of inches of water and bring it to a simmer.
Place a heatproof bowl over the pot without letting the bottom of the bowl touch the water.
Add chocolate chips, condensed milk, and a splash of vanilla extract into the bowl.
Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
Step 2: Chill the Mixture
Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat.
Transfer it to a container or bowl and refrigerate for one hour.
The mixture should become slightly firm, making it easier to handle for shaping into truffles.
Step 3: Shape the Truffles
After the mixture has firmed up in the refrigerator, use a two-teaspoon measure or a small scoop to portion out the truffle mixture.
This will help ensure your truffles are even in size.
Roll each portion into a ball using your hands for a smooth finish.
Step 4: Coat the Truffles
In a shallow dish, spread out your choice of sprinkles.
Roll each truffle ball in the sprinkles, pressing gently to ensure they stick, until the truffle is completely coated.
Step 5: Set the Truffles
Place the coated truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate them for an additional hour to allow the truffles to set completely and develop a firm texture.
Once set, your chocolate truffles are ready to be served and enjoyed!
