Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark Chocolate (70% cacao or more)
• 200 grams Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 50 grams Desiccated Coconut (optional, for coating)

Directions

Step 1

Break the dark chocolate into small chunks and place them in a heatproof bowl.

Step 2

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is warmed through but not boiling.

Step 3

Pour the warmed sweetened condensed milk mixture over the chocolate chunks. Let it sit for about 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to begin melting.

Step 4

Gently stir the mixture with a spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Add the salt and continue to stir until well incorporated.

Step 6

Let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 1 hour or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.

Step 7

Once firm, scoop out small amounts of the chocolate mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls using your hands.

Step 8

Pour the cocoa powder into a shallow bowl. Roll each chocolate ball in the cocoa powder until it is evenly coated.

Step 9

For an optional extra touch, you can also roll some of the chocolate balls in desiccated coconut for a different flavor and texture.

Step 10

Place the finished chocolate balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set completely.

Step 11

Serve cold and enjoy your Nut-Free Decadent Chocolate Balls!
