Whether you’re dairy free or not this homemade chocolate truffle recipe is for you! It is so easy and fun!
My mom use to make these every Christmas when I growing up. I have fond memories helping her make these. She would get my sister and I involved whenever she made them. They’re perfect for kids to help with!
My mom made them with dairy and now I make them dairy free.
These homemade chocolate truffles would be great for Valentine’s Day! Mad with love is always better than store bought! Plus you can roll these truffles with just about anything that sounds good to you!
Toppings
Some of my favorite toppings are shredded coconut, cocoa powder, sprinkles, finely chopped nuts, powdered sugar, or a mix of two favorites!
The Process
If you are dairy free you will need to use coconut sweet and condensed milk. If you eat dairy them regular sweet and condensed milk will work perfect.
I have yet to see a 14 oz can of coconut sweet and condensed milk so I use two small cans. I know they have the 14 oz cans of dairy sweet and condensed milk.
In a small saucepan melt chocolate chips with sweet and condensed milk until smooth. Be careful not to overcook the chocolate! When the chocolate chips are almost all the way melted remove from heat and continue to stir until smooth. Then stir in vanilla extract.
Place melted chocolate mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for about 3 hours or more.
After the chocolate mixture is refrigerated, scoop out balls of chocolate with a melon baller. Then, roll in desired topping.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
