Easy no-bake chocolate truffles with a fudgy texture, made with ricotta cheese and coated in your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese, drained
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut for coating

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the drained ricotta cheese, chopped semi-sweet chocolate, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  3. Mix until well combined and smooth. If the mixture is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Roll each ball in your chosen coating (cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut) until evenly coated.
  6. Place the coated truffles on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow them to firm up.

Notes

  • For best results, drain the ricotta cheese thoroughly to remove excess moisture. You can do this by placing it in a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth over a bowl for at least 30 minutes.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • These truffles can also be frozen for longer storage. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Consider these as a delightful addition to your holiday dessert gifts or party platters.
