Introduction
These 2 Ingredient Chocolate Truffles are an easy and delicious treat to satisfy your chocolate cravings. With just sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder, you can whip up rich, creamy truffles in under an hour. Perfect for gifting or a quick homemade dessert.
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 of cocoa powder into the warm condensed milk. Use a rubber spatula to stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Step 3: Shape the chocolate mixture into a flat disc using your hands, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Place it in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Step 4: Remove the chilled chocolate disc from the freezer and unwrap it. Place it on a cutting board and cut into one-inch squares using a pastry cutter or sharp knife. If sticky, freeze longer before cutting.
- Step 5: Roll each square into a smooth ball using your hands and place on a plate.
- Step 6: Roll the truffle balls in the optional 1/4 cup cocoa powder to coat. Serve immediately or store in the fridge.
Tips & Variations
- For a different coating, try rolling the truffles in finely chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or powdered sugar instead of cocoa powder.
- If the mixture feels too soft to roll, return it to the freezer for a few more minutes until firmer.
- Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the mixture for an extra flavor boost.
Storage
Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. When ready to enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly. Avoid leaving them out too long as they can become too soft.

Description
These 2 Ingredient Chocolate Truffles are an easy and delicious treat that can be made quickly with just sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder. Perfect for a rich, fudgy dessert or a homemade gift, these truffles require minimal effort and are coated in cocoa powder for an extra chocolatey finish.
Ingredients
Truffle Mixture
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
Coating
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (for rolling the truffles; optional)
Instructions
- Microwave sweetened condensed milk: Add the sweetened condensed milk into a large bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds to warm it slightly and make mixing easier.
- Add cocoa powder: Sift the 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder into the bowl with the warm sweetened condensed milk. Using a rubber spatula, stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl to incorporate all the cocoa powder evenly.
- Freeze the mixture: Use your hands to press the chocolate mixture into a flat disc shape. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes to set and firm up the chocolate.
- Slice the chocolate disc: Remove the wrapped chocolate disk from the freezer and unwrap it onto a cutting board. Cut into equal one-inch squares using a pastry cutter or sharp knife. If the mixture feels too sticky to cut cleanly, return it to the freezer for a bit longer to harden more.
- Roll into balls: Take each square piece and roll it between your palms to form smooth truffle balls. Place the finished balls on a plate ready for coating.
- Coat and serve: Roll each truffle ball in the optional cocoa powder to coat evenly. Serve immediately or store the truffles in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.
Notes
- Microwaving the condensed milk warms it to ensure smooth mixing with cocoa powder.
- Freezing the mixture helps make it easier to cut and shape into truffles.
- Rolling the truffles in cocoa powder adds a rich outer coating and prevents sticking.
- Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can substitute sweetened condensed milk with a dairy-free version for a lactose-free variation.
