Description

These Salted Caramel Fudge Truffles are rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with sweet caramel and a touch of sea salt. Made with just a few ingredients, these indulgent bite-sized treats are perfect for holidays, gifts, or a special dessert!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Truffles:

  • 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

For the Coating:

  • 6 oz (170g) dark or milk chocolate, melted
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (optional, for a smoother coating)
  • Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Truffle Mixture

  1. In a heatproof bowl, add chopped chocolate.
  2. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering (do not boil).
  3. Pour hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir until smooth, then mix in caramel sauce, vanilla, and sea salt.

Step 2: Chill & Shape the Truffles

  1. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until firm.
  2. Using a small scoop or spoon, roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined tray.
  3. Freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 3: Coat the Truffles

  1. Melt chocolate with coconut oil or butter until smooth.
  2. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating evenly.
  3. Place back on the parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Step 4: Set & Serve

  1. Refrigerate for 20 minutes until the coating hardens.
  2. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!

Notes

  • Make It Extra Gooey: Add ½ tsp caramel inside each truffle before rolling.
  • Storage: Keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Vegan Option: Use coconut cream and dairy-free chocolate.
  • Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle with toasted nuts or cocoa powder instead of sea salt.
