2-Ingredient Chocolate Truffles
Making chocolate truffles at home can be easy and delicious with just two ingredients. The key ingredients in these truffles are good quality chocolate and ricotta cheese. You can keep it simple or dip the truffle in melted chocolate for an extra rich chocolatey flavour. This recipe is also great for little ones as the ricotta cheese cuts the sugar in half and the added protein helps to balance out sugar levels. So next time you or your kids want a hit of chocolate, make these 2-ingredient truffles together with them instead.
