Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: cocoa powder or crushed nuts (quantity as desired)
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the melted chocolate with ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to allow it to firm up for easier handling.
- Form Truffles: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the chilled mixture and roll each portion between your palms to form smooth balls.
- Coat Truffles: Roll each truffle ball in your choice of toppings such as cocoa powder or crushed nuts to add texture and flavor.
- Serve or Store: Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use whole milk ricotta cheese.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar according to your taste.
- Try different coatings like shredded coconut, chopped pistachios, or sprinkles for variety.
- These truffles should be kept refrigerated and consumed within 3-4 days for optimum freshness.
- If the mixture is too soft to roll, chill it longer until firm enough to handle.
