Easy Salted Caramel Fudge Truffles are the perfect blend of sweet and salty, combining creamy caramel-infused fudge with a rich chocolate coating. These truffles are incredibly simple to make and deliver a luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth experience. Ideal for gifting, parties, or enjoying as a personal indulgence, they’re a delightful addition to any dessert repertoire.
INGREDIENTS- Sweetened condensed milk: ½ cup, for a smooth and creamy fudge base.
- Salted caramel sauce: ¼ cup, to add a rich caramel flavor.
- White chocolate chips: 1½ cups, for a sweet and velvety texture.
- Sea salt: ¼ tsp, to enhance the flavors and balance sweetness.
- Dark or milk chocolate: 1 cup, melted, for coating the truffles.
- Step 1:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, salted caramel sauce, and white chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Step 2:
- Stir in sea salt, then pour the mixture into a lined baking dish. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
- Step 3:
- Once firm, scoop the mixture into small balls using a spoon or melon baller. Roll the balls between your hands to create a smooth shape. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 4:
- Melt the dark or milk chocolate using a microwave or double boiler. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place back onto the parchment paper.
- Step 5:
- Allow the truffles to set at room temperature, or refrigerate them for faster results. Sprinkle with additional sea salt if desired, and serve once the chocolate coating is firm.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
- To prevent sticking, lightly coat your hands with powdered sugar when rolling the truffles.
- For a flavor twist, sprinkle crushed nuts or coconut flakes over the chocolate coating before it sets.
Tips from Well-Known Chefs
- Use high-quality chocolate for coating to elevate the truffles' flavor and appearance.
