Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons Kahlua
Coating
- 1 cup Christmas red, green, and white nonpareils
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: Using a double boiler, gently combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and Kahlua. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely smooth and well blended, ensuring that the chocolate chips fully melt into the liquid.
- Chill the Mixture: Transfer the smooth chocolate mixture into a bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Chill for approximately 3 hours to allow it to firm up, making it easier to scoop and shape.
- Shape the Truffles: Using a small ice cream scooper or spoon, portion out the chilled chocolate mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, round truffle balls.
- Coat with Sprinkles: Pour the Christmas-themed nonpareils into a shallow bowl. Roll each chocolate ball in the sprinkles until fully coated, giving the truffles a festive look.
- Set and Serve: Place the coated truffles onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Repeat the rolling and coating with the remaining truffles. Refrigerate if desired until ready to serve. Enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate Kahlua truffles!
Notes
- Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water to gently melt the chocolate without burning.
- Chilling time is essential for the mixture to firm up for easy shaping.
- Store the truffles in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and freshness.
- For a different flavor twist, try substituting the Kahlua with other liqueurs like Baileys or Frangelico.
- Allow truffles to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
