1. Introduction & Setup [00:00]
Denny greets her viewers from her home in Athens, explaining that it is surprisingly snowing outside.
She introduces the recipe: 2-Ingredient Condensed Milk Chocolate Truffles (condensed milk + cocoa powder).
2. Heating the Co
ndensed Milk [00:56]
She pours condensed milk into a pan on the stove, watching for it to bubble lightly as per the instructions.
After struggling with burning/clumping milk in the pan, she transfers the warm condensed milk into a mixing bowl [02:14].
3. Mixing
in the Cocoa Powder [02:30]
She gradually adds generous amounts of unsweetened cocoa powder into the condensed milk and stirs vigorously.
As she mixes, the liquid thickens into a heavy, dark dough-like texture [03:14].
4. Wrapping and Chilling [04:25]
She strugg
les with plastic wrap clinging to her hands and bowl before successfully wrapping the chocolate dough.
She gently pats/slaps the wrapped mixture and puts it in the refrigerator to set for 2 to 3 hours [05:44].
5. Cutting and Shaping the Truffles [06:15]
After ch
illing, she removes the mixture from the fridge and covers her cutting board in a thick layer of cocoa powder [07:06].
She slices the soft, sticky dough into small cubes [07:41] and rounds their edges slightly by hand [08:26].
Finally, she dusts the finished tru
ffles with even more cocoa powder for a fluffy look [09:15].
6. Taste Test & Adjustments [09:38]
Initial Impression: The truffles are extremely bitter because of the high concentration of unsweetened cocoa powder with no extra sugar added [10:00].
Fixes & Experi
mentation:
Dipping/coating them in a sweet chocolate spread (Merenda) [11:08].
Trying them with peanut butter (which she did not like) [11:34].
Spreading a truffle on a plain biscuit/cookie [11:40].
Final Verdict: She recommends adding sugar to the recipe if mak
ing it at home to balance out the intense bitterness of the cocoa powder [11:52].
