Directions

  1. 1

    Pour in the milk gradually, whisking until smooth and lump-free.

  3. 3

    Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon for about 25 minutes, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Lightly grease your hands with butter, then roll the mixture into small balls.

  6. 6

    Coat each truffle in chocolate sprinkles and place in mini cupcake liners. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

💡 Chef's Tip

If the mixture feels too soft to shape, return it to low heat for a few extra minutes while stirring. For an adult twist, add a splash of dark rum or a pinch of cinnamon to the mix.
