Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cups (157 g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) coconut oil or shortening (optional)
- Sprinkles
- White chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Creaming: Whip butter with granulated and brown sugars until fluffy. Incorporate milk and vanilla extract, blending into a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Dough Formation: Integrate flour and salt, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. Fold mini chocolate chips throughout, ensuring even distribution.
- Shaping and Chilling: Mold dough into compact spheres using a small scoop. Arrange on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20 minutes to firm up the balls.
- Chocolate Coating Preparation: Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, using short intervals and stirring between each. Optional: Add coconut oil for enhanced shine and smoothness.
- Dipping and Decorating: Remove chilled dough balls and submerge completely in melted chocolate using a dipping tool or fork. Allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place on parchment paper and optionally garnish with sprinkles or white chocolate drizzle while coating is still liquid.
- Setting and Serving: Let truffles set at room temperature or accelerate the process by refrigerating. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature for the most indulgent experience.
Notes
- Control Moisture Carefully: Ensure flour is completely dry to prevent clumping and maintain perfect dough consistency, which impacts texture and taste.
- Freeze for Precision: Chilling dough balls for exactly 20 minutes creates ideal firmness for smooth chocolate coating and prevents crumbling during dipping.
- Temper Chocolate Strategically: Melt chocolate in short microwave bursts and stir frequently to avoid burning, maintaining silky smooth coating without graininess.
- Adapt for Dietary Needs: Substitute regular flour with gluten-free alternatives like almond or coconut flour, and use dairy-free butter and chocolate for vegan versions without compromising rich flavor profile.
