How about a chocolate truffle recipe with only 2 ingredients?

It’s not like we needed an excuse to eat chocolate, but here, with the holiday season, the occasion still fits.

Personally, being the queen of laziness, but not the last one to churn out something that closely or remotely resembles chocolate, I’ve found just the thing: make a recipe for chocolate truffles, these absolute wonders, with just two ingredients. Yes, you read that correctly. And you know what? You can even make them vegan.

Recipe for chocolate truffles with two ingredients

To make these simple but delicious wonders you will need:

• 200 g of dark chocolate
• 100 ml liquid cream (vegetable or not)
• Optional: cocoa powder, or coconut powder, for topping if you’re feeling hot

To make this recipe, you need to start with melt the chocolate in a water bath or in the microwave. Don’t burn it, that’s not what we’re here for. In a separate pan, heat the creambut not too much, it must be hot, but not boiling!

Then you mix the liquid cream with the melted chocolate stirring gently, and let it cool down for an hour at room temperature. Then, mind you, that’s the hard part (it’s not true), open the fridge door, and put your preparation inside for at least 3 hours.

If you can resist dipping your fingers into the bowl during this time, congratulations! Then all that remains is to take it out of the fridge, make balls to roll in your hands and arrange them on a plate. If you want to add some lining, now’s the time, but it’s also great nature.

Chill everything for at least half an hour before serving and voila!

So, wasn’t this the easiest recipe in the world?
