# What You Need:

01 - 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
02 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
03 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
04 - 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk

# How To Make:

01 - Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
02 - In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from the heat.
03 - Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
04 - Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, non-alcoholic Irish cream syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
05 - Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
06 - Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls with your hands.
07 - Roll each truffle in cocoa powder, chocolate sprinkles, or chopped nuts to coat.
08 - Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined tray. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They taste incredibly luxurious but come together with just 20 minutes of active prep time
  • The nonalcoholic Irish cream flavor means kids and adults alike can indulge without worry
02 -
  • If your ganache ever seizes and looks grainy, do not panic. A teaspoon of warm cream whisked in gently can usually bring it back to smooth perfection
  • Clean, dry hands are essential when rolling the truffles. Any moisture will make the chocolate stick to your fingers instead of rolling smoothly
03 -
  • Chill your mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before making the ganache on hot days for better results
  • Use a cookie scoop instead of a spoon for perfectly uniform truffles every single time
