Description

Delicious and indulgent Chocolate Kahlua Truffles featuring a smooth blend of semi-sweet chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and rich Kahlua, coated with festive red, green, and white nonpareil sprinkles. Perfect for holiday celebrations or any special occasion treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Base

  • 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 sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Melt and mix: Using a double boiler, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and Kahlua. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
  2. Chill the mixture: Transfer the truffle mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for 3 hours to allow it to firm up for easy scooping.
  3. Form truffles: Using a small ice cream scooper or spoon, scoop out portions of the chilled mixture and roll each into a smooth ball with your hands.
  4. Coat with sprinkles: Pour the Christmas nonpareils into a separate bowl and roll each truffle ball in the sprinkles until fully coated for a festive look and added texture.
  5. Set truffles: Place the coated truffles onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Repeat the process with remaining truffle mixture.
  6. Enjoy: Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy. These truffles make an excellent holiday treat or gift!

Notes

  • Ensure the chocolate mixture is fully smooth before chilling to achieve the best texture.
  • Refrigerate formed truffles for about 30 minutes if they become too soft to handle during rolling.
  • For variety, try rolling truffles in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut instead of sprinkles.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Allow truffles to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for softer texture.
