2 Ingredient Chocolate Truffles Recipe
Introduction
These 2 Ingredient Chocolate Truffles are a quick and easy treat that requires minimal ingredients and effort. Rich, creamy, and perfectly chocolatey, they make a delightful dessert or snack you can whip up in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for the truffles)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (for rolling the truffles – optional)
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Step 1: Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a large bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds to warm it slightly.
- Step 2: Sift the 2/3 cup cocoa powder into the warm condensed milk. Stir thoroughly with a rubber spatula until fully combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Step 3: Press the chocolate mixture into a disc shape using your hands and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
- Step 4: Freeze the wrapped chocolate disc for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Step 5: Remove the disc from the freezer and unwrap it. Place it on a cutting board and cut into equal one-inch squares using a pastry cutter or sharp knife. If the mixture is too sticky, freeze for additional time.
- Step 6: Roll each square into a smooth ball with your hands and arrange them on a plate.
- Step 7: Optionally, roll each truffle in the 1/4 cup cocoa powder to coat, then serve immediately or store.
Tips & Variations
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract to the mixture before chilling.
- If you prefer sweeter truffles, roll them in powdered sugar or shredded coconut instead of cocoa powder.
- Use gloves or chill your hands before rolling to prevent the chocolate from melting too much.
Storage
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To serve, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Avoid leaving them out too long to maintain their shape and texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make these truffles without a microwave?
Yes, you can gently warm the sweetened condensed milk on the stovetop in a small saucepan over low heat until slightly warm, then proceed with the recipe.
How do I know when the chocolate mixture is ready to roll?
The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape but still soft enough to roll smoothly. If it’s too sticky, chill it longer in the freezer before shaping.

2 Ingredient Chocolate Truffles Recipe
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 16 servings 1x
Description
These 2 Ingredient Chocolate Truffles are an easy and delicious treat made with just sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder. Ready in under an hour, they offer a rich, fudgy texture and a deep chocolate flavor, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or sharing with friends.
Ingredients
Truffle Mixture
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
For Rolling (Optional)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Microwave Sweetened Condensed Milk: Place the 1/3 cup of sweetened condensed milk into a large microwave-safe bowl and heat it for 30 seconds to warm it up slightly.
- Add Cocoa Powder: Sift the 2/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder into the warm condensed milk. Using a rubber spatula, stir the mixture thoroughly, scraping the bowl’s sides and bottom, until fully combined into a smooth chocolate dough.
- Freeze the Mixture: Form the chocolate mixture into a flat disc using your hands. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Slice into Squares: Unwrap the chilled chocolate disc and place it on a cutting board. Using a pastry cutter or sharp knife, cut the disc into one-inch squares. If the mixture feels too sticky to cut cleanly, return it to the freezer for a bit longer.
- Roll into Truffles: Take each square piece and roll it gently between your palms to form smooth, round balls.
- Coat and Serve: Optionally, roll each truffle ball in the 1/4 cup cocoa powder to coat them evenly. Arrange on a plate and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later.
Notes
- Microwaving the sweetened condensed milk slightly helps blend the cocoa powder easier.
- If the mixture is too sticky to handle, chill for additional time in the freezer.
- Rolling the truffles in cocoa powder adds a nice texture and slightly reduces stickiness.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a different coating, try shredded coconut or chopped nuts.
