Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Mixture
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup salted caramel sauce
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup dark or milk chocolate, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Fudge Mixture: In a heatproof bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, salted caramel sauce, and white chocolate chips.
- Melt Ingredients Using Double Boiler: Place the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and all the white chocolate chips have melted.
- Add Sea Salt: Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the fine sea salt until fully incorporated.
- Line the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Pour and Spread Mixture: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate to Set: Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
- Lift Fudge from Dish: Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish.
- Cut into Squares: Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into 1-inch squares.
- Roll into Truffle Balls: Roll each square between your palms to form smooth, round balls.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Place the rolled truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped dark or milk chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until fully melted and glossy.
- Coat Truffles in Chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, then return it to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Set Chocolate Coating: Let the chocolate harden at room temperature, or place in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is set, the truffles are ready to be served and enjoyed.
Notes
- Use fine sea salt for the best texture and even distribution.
- Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth before dipping to get a glossy coating.
- You can store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Handle the truffles gently when rolling to keep them smooth and uniform.
- For a festive twist, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate coating before it sets.
