Fail-Proof 3-Ingredient Chocolate Truffles Recipe

It's Mother's Day today, so first of all, I would like to wish all mothers a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Thank you for all your hard work all these years, giving us all your love and bringing each of us up so well. 

My mother loves Awfully Chocolate (a Singapore homegrown chocolatier shop)'s Chocolate Truffles, but with the circuit-breaker in response to the covid-19 pandemic in Singapore, I am not sure if Awfully Chocolate is still open. 

So I thought to myself: what if I made them by myself, won't that show my sincerity than store-bought ones? I found a recipe online and tweaked it slightly and there you have it - Fail-Proof 3-Ingredient Chocolate Truffles recipe. 

Chocolate Truffle Ingredients

You need just 3 ingredients for this recipe - 60-70% dark chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder and whipping cream. Any brand is fine, don't worry. 

Just remember that the ratio for the chocolate to whipping cream is 2:1. I used 200g of chocolate (2 slabs) and 100ml of whipping which made around 20 pieces of chocolate truffles. 

Steps for making Fail-Proof 3-Ingredient Chocolate Truffles:

  1. Heat up the whipping cream in either microwave (30 seconds should do) or over low flame on the stove in a pot. 
  2. Chop the chocolate into small pieces.
  3. Throw the chopped chocolate pieces into the warmed-up whipping cream and whip until smooth.
  4. Spread the chocolate evenly onto a shallow baking tray (8"x8" tray worked well for me). 
  5. Put the tray into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes (DO NOT put into the freezer department - you are going to have a hard time working with frozen chocolate).
  6. After 30 minutes, take the chocolate tray out. Your chocolate should be nice and hard now. Leave it to thaw for 5 minutes so the chocolate is semi-solid, which makes it easy to work with. 
  7. Using a teaspoon, gently roll and scoop out enough chocolate and form into a ball. Since my cocoa powder comes in a box, I basically just dump the chocolate ball into the box of cocoa and just roll it around. 
  8. Do it until you have used up all the chocolate in the tray, put them in an air-tight container or whatever box you want and these babies will last for about a month in the fridge. 

Chocolate Truffles

That's it, don't they look just gorgeous? They looks every bit as good as store-bought ones and even my picky  mother agreed they look and taste awesome. If a cooking idiot can make this, so can anyone. 

Give this recipe a try and let me know how it turns out in the comments below. I made this post as an afterthought because the chocolate truffles turned out so well, so I didn't think to take pictures of the steps as I was making it. If you really need a video demonstration, just type "video demonstration" in the comments below and I will make one the next time I make these again.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
