What You Will Need
All you will need to make this 2 Ingredient Chocolate Truffle is cocoa powder and condensed milk.. and a fridge. Simple!
Condensed Milk
For your first ingredient, you will need sweetened condensed milk as it has the thick and sticky texture that is very important in this recipe. It will give your chocolate truffle the right texture to hold together and create heavenly bites. Using unsweetened will not work as it has more of a milky texture.
Cocoa Powder
You can use any cocoa powder you have in your pantry for this recipe, but make sure to add it to the sweetened condensed milk in small portions and consistently stir to avoid any clumping in the process. Use 100% cocoa powder for best results instead of chocolate milk powder or any other alternatives.

Adding The Personal Touch
Having a rich and fudgy, deliciously tasting 2 Ingredient Chocolate Truffle is guaranteed, but there are ways in which you can make these bite-size treats better suited to you and your guests.
Using vegan condensed milk can make your chocolate truffles vegan-friendly whilst maintaining the heavenly taste of these bites. Ultimately, this means you can adjust the amount of sugar you would like in this recipe and can even go sugar-free if you prefer!
You can also choose to use a dairy-free coconut condensed milk version to make these chocolate truffle bits lactose intolerant friendly.
For added flavor, you can add a little espresso powder or instant coffee with your cocoa. Simply grind as little as a quarter teaspoon into a fine powder and sift into the condensed milk to give you that coffee boast.
Cocoa powder is used both in the recipe, mixed in with the condensed milk, as well as for the toppings of the chocolate truffles. You can choose to go with shredded coconut for the topping instead or powdered sugar, or maybe some crushed nuts if you like.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Just two! You need cocoa powder and sweetened condensed milk to make these delicious chocolate truffles.
Sweetened condensed milk thickens the mixture and is needed to make sure the truffles hold together. Unsweetened condensed milk has a milky texture which cannot be used to make truffles.
When you mix the condensed milk and cocoa powder together, leave the mixture in the fridge for about 2 hours, or until the mixture hardens.
You can shape them just as you like, truffles can come in all different shapes and sizes, it’s all in the taste!
Sweetened condensed milk can be made by mixing milk and sugar on medium heat, but for truffles, it’s best to go with the original sweetened mix.
Because of the condensed milk, the chocolate truffle mix will be sticky but once it’s out of the fridge and has hardened, it should be easy to deal with. If not, add more cocoa powder.
How Can I Shape The Chocolate Truffles?
Truffles come in so many different shapes, sizes, and designs, so it’s up to you really how you would like to shape and present them.
You can make them into soft square shapes. Once the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder have been mixed together, place them in a rectangle-shaped dish – this makes it easier to cut into squares. Each square is then rounded on the edges to give these beautiful soft squares.
To shape the truffles into small balls, dip an ice-cream scooper in hot water, and scoop up balls of the condensed milk and cocoa powder mix. You can roll the balls between your palms to perfect the heavenly bites but don’t forget to dip your hands in some flavorless oil to avoid sticking.
