Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate:
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark or milk chocolate (for coating)
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce
Seasoning:
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare a microwave-safe bowl and combine sweetened condensed milk, salted caramel sauce, and white chocolate chips to create a luscious base mixture.
- Microwave the mixture in precise 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each session to ensure smooth, even melting without scorching.
- Incorporate sea salt into the melted chocolate blend, then transfer the creamy mixture into a parchment-lined baking dish for structured cooling.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 3-4 hours until it reaches a firm, scoopable consistency that holds its shape when handled.
- Using a small scoop or spoon, extract portions of the chilled mixture and gently roll between palms to form uniform, round truffle shapes.
- Arrange the rolled truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Melt dark or milk chocolate using a microwave or double boiler, maintaining a smooth, glossy texture for coating.
- Carefully submerge each truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork to ensure complete and even coverage.
- Gently tap the fork to remove excess chocolate and return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Allow truffles to set at room temperature for a soft finish, or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes for a quicker, firmer result.
- Optional: Sprinkle a delicate pinch of sea salt on top of each truffle for an elegant, contrasting garnish before serving.
Notes
- Chill the mixture thoroughly to ensure easy rolling and prevent sticky hands during ball formation.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform truffle sizes, creating professional-looking and consistent treats.
- Opt for high-quality chocolate when coating to elevate the overall flavor and texture of the truffles.
- Try alternative coatings like crushed nuts, cocoa powder, or toasted coconut for diverse flavor profiles.
