About Our Recipe

Turn simple ingredients into something truly special!

Our homemade Truffles recipe proves that you don’t need a long list of ingredients to create a luxurious treat. Made with just a few essentials and a whole lot of love, it’s the perfect way to impress without the stress.

The key is Nestlé MILKMAID. Its rich, creamy texture and subtle caramel flavour give these Truffles their signature melt-in-the-mouth indulgence.

Making them is wonderfully simple. Start by mixing cocoa powder with a splash of vanilla essence. Stir in Nestlé MILKMAID until smooth and glossy, then chill the mixture, and once set, roll it into bite-sized balls, dip them in melted chocolate, and finish with your favourite topping such as cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or coconut flakes (get creative!).

Gift them to someone special or keep them all to yourself. These Truffles are more than just sweets; they are little moments of joy.
