# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Main
01 -
397 g sweetened condensed milk
02 -
14 g unsalted butter
03 -
100 g dark chocolate
→ Decoration
04 -
Vermicelli, as needed
# How to Make It:
01 -
Place the dark chocolate (broken into pieces), unsalted butter, and sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan.
02 -
Heat the mixture over medium-low, stirring continuously with a heatproof utensil, until fully melted and beginning to thicken.
03 -
Continue cooking, scraping the bottom of the pan constantly to prevent burning. Cook until you can run a spatula through the middle and the mixture takes about 2 seconds to fill back in, approximately 10 minutes.
04 -
Remove the saucepan from heat. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
05 -
Scoop out spoonfuls of chilled mixture, about the size of a walnut. Roll each portion between your hands to form smooth balls.
06 -
Roll each ball in vermicelli or other toppings as desired. Place finished truffles into paper liners and serve.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Maintain low to medium heat while cooking and stir constantly to prevent scorching the chocolate and condensed milk.
02 -
Chill the mixture until firm enough to roll. If the mixture becomes too firm, allow it to sit at room temperature until pliable.
