Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark Chocolate (70% cacao or more)
- 200 grams Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 50 grams Desiccated Coconut (optional, for coating)
Instructions
Break the dark chocolate into small chunks and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is warmed through but not boiling.
Pour the warmed sweetened condensed milk mixture over the chocolate chunks. Let it sit for about 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to begin melting.
Gently stir the mixture with a spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the salt and continue to stir until well incorporated.
Let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 1 hour or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Once firm, scoop out small amounts of the chocolate mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls using your hands.
Pour the cocoa powder into a shallow bowl. Roll each chocolate ball in the cocoa powder until it is evenly coated.
For an optional extra touch, you can also roll some of the chocolate balls in desiccated coconut for a different flavor and texture.
Place the finished chocolate balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set completely.
Serve cold and enjoy your Nut-Free Decadent Chocolate Balls!
