Filling
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Coating
- 1 cup dark or milk chocolate (for coating)
- Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, salted caramel sauce, and white chocolate chips for the truffle filling.
- Heat Mixture: Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each until the mixture is smooth and all chocolate is fully melted.
- Add Salt and Chill: Stir in the sea salt to enhance the flavor, then pour the mixture into a lined baking dish. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
- Shape Truffles: Using a spoon or small scoop, form the chilled mixture into small balls and roll them into smooth shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt Coating Chocolate: Melt the dark or milk chocolate either in the microwave or a double boiler until smooth and ready for dipping.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Place them back on the parchment paper to set.
- Optional Garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the coated truffles before the chocolate sets for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease clean-up.
- Ensure the truffle mixture is fully chilled and firm before shaping for ease of handling.
- Choose high-quality chocolate for coating to enhance flavor and texture.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
- Allow truffles to come to room temperature a few minutes before serving for best taste.
