Not all of us are chocolatiers, and this chocolate truffle recipe is made for us. It’s rich, decadent, creamy and all the “truffly” things you love, but with almost none of the work. And none of the tricky ingredients!
It’s essentially just a simple ganache that we form into truffle form, and it only takes 20 minutes to do (and most of that is chilling time). It’s such a fun, simple dessert, and then my favorite thing is that you can decorate them however you like 🙂

The two ingredients you need for these homemade truffles

How to make these homemade truffles
- Chop up the chocolate into shards.
- Either in the microwave or on the stove, heat up the milk until it is scalding hot, almost boiling.
- Pour the milk over the chocolate and stir until a ganache forms.
- Let this mix sit in the fridge for 15-20 minutes, or until the ganache is firm enough that you can scoop it into bite-sized truffles using a cookie scoop.
- Top the truffles with either matcha and sesame seeds, or dip them in yogurt and crushed nuts. Or mix it up how you like! Store them in the fridge and serve whenever.
Ways to top this truffle recipe
I love using these toppings for this recipe:
- 1 tbsp ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 1 tbsp black and toasted sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup cherry flavored skyr
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts
What I like to do is dust the matcha truffles with the matcha on top, then dip their bottoms in sesame seeds. It makes the truffles nutty, crunchy and a little caffeinated 😉
I also love to use creamy and thick cherry skyr as a coating for truffles. I add crushed nuts and edible flowers and they come out all cute, fruity and delicious 😍
And that’s it for this simple truffle recipe!
