Legend has it that one day a French chef's apprentice was trying to make custard in his mentor's kitchen. One wrong move resulted in the cream pouring into a bowl of chocolate instead of the eggs. When the mass hardened, the boy rolled it into round balls and sprinkled cocoa over them to hide the unevenness. This accident led to the creation of the most delicate truffles, which may soon appear on your table.

How to cook Truffles

Step 1

In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, cocoa and place on low heat. Cook until sugar is completely dissolved, stirring occasionally, then remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 2

Add dry milk into the chocolate mixture in small portions, stirring constantly.

Step 3

Sprinkle the work surface where you will make the truffles with dry milk. Separate a small portion from the chocolate mass, roll it into a ball and roll it in dry milk. Lightly moisten the candy with water and roll it in walnuts. Make the remaining truffles in the same way.

Step 4

Place the candies in the refrigerator for several hours.

Truffles - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute dry milk in this truffle recipe?

Yes! You can use coconut milk powder or almond flour as a dairy-free alternative. For a richer taste, try heavy cream powder, but adjust consistency as needed.

How long do these truffles last, and how should I store them?

Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze them (without walnut coating) for up to 3 months.

Can I make these truffles vegan?

Absolutely! Use vegan butter, coconut milk powder, and maple syrup instead of sugar. Skip the walnuts or use toasted coconut flakes for coating.

Why do my truffles keep cracking when rolling?

If the mixture is too dry, add 1/2 tsp water or melted butter. If too sticky, chill for 15 minutes first. Work quickly with cool hands.

Can I use different coatings besides walnuts?

Yes! Try crushed biscuits, cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or even sprinkles. For low-carb versions, use crushed almonds or sugar-free chocolate shavings.

How can I make these truffles more festive?

Dip them in melted chocolate after walnut coating, or drizzle with white chocolate. Add edible glitter or gold leaf for special occasions.

My mixture is too runny - how can I fix it?

Chill for 30 minutes to firm up. If still too soft, mix in 1-2 tbsp extra dry milk or cocoa powder until moldable.

Can I double this recipe for a larger batch?

Yes, but melt ingredients in a larger pot for even heating. Work in batches when rolling to prevent the mixture from warming up too much.
