Print Recipe

These creamy hot cocoa bomb truffles are a cozy, easy-to-make treat featuring a rich chocolate shell and a velvety cream filling that melts perfectly in warm milk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz (280 g) high-quality semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (30 g) instant hot cocoa mix
  • Mini marshmallows (optional, a handful)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop the chocolate finely for even melting. Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the chocolate until smooth and glossy. If microwaving, heat in 20-second bursts, stirring each time to avoid overheating.
  2. Spoon or brush a thin layer of melted chocolate inside each half-sphere mold. Rotate the mold to cover all sides evenly. Place molds in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
  3. Apply a second layer of chocolate for sturdiness. Chill again until firm, about 15 minutes.
  4. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the instant hot cocoa mix until combined but still fluffy.
  5. Carefully unmold the chocolate shells. Spoon a small amount of the creamy filling into one half. Add a few mini marshmallows if using. Warm the edges of another half-sphere slightly and press gently to seal the truffle.
  6. Place assembled truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dust lightly with cocoa powder. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set completely.

Notes

If chocolate shells crack when unmolding, patch with melted chocolate before sealing. Use cold cream and chilled bowls for best whipped cream texture. Warm edges of chocolate halves to seal smoothly. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use vegan chocolate. Store truffles in airtight container in refrigerator up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
