Directions
Make the Salted Caramel:
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it turns a deep amber colour.
Carefully add the butter and stir until fully incorporated.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously.
Once smooth, stir in 1/2 tsp sea salt.
Pour the caramel into a heatproof bowl and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until thick and scoopable (about 1-2 hours).
Form the Caramel Centres:
Scoop out small amounts of the chilled caramel (about 1-inch in diameter) and roll them into smooth balls using lightly greased hands.
Prepare the Milk Chocolate Coating:
Melt the chopped milk chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave using 20-30 second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
Assemble the Truffles:
Dip each caramel ball into the melted milk chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, ensuring an even, thin coating.
Immediately roll the coated truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder to create a dusted shell.
Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Finish & Enjoy:
Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of the cocoa-dusted truffles for extra flavour.
Enjoy your homemade milk chocolate truffles—a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and indulgently gooey!
