Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 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)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, salted caramel sauce, and white chocolate chips until well combined.
- Heat and Melt: Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Add Sea Salt and Chill: Stir in the sea salt evenly, then pour the mixture into a lined baking dish. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
- Scoop and Shape: Using a spoon or small scoop, take portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into smooth, bite-sized balls with your hands.
- Melt Coating Chocolate: Melt the dark or milk chocolate until smooth, either in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts or using a double boiler.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each truffle ball fully into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage, then place each on parchment paper to set.
- Set and Garnish: Allow the chocolate coating to set at room temperature or refrigerate. Optionally, sprinkle additional sea salt on top before serving for an extra salted caramel kick.
Notes
- Use a lined baking dish for easy removal of the truffle mixture.
- For a smoother coating, temper the chocolate before dipping.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can substitute caramel sauce with homemade salted caramel if preferred.
- Allow the truffles to reach room temperature before serving for optimal flavor.
