3-Ingredients Chocolate Cubes

These 3-Ingredient Chocolate Cubes are decadent little chocolates made with only three ingredients and cocoa powder for dusting. Their rich flavor and dusting of cocoa powder is similar to chocolate truffles, except that they are slightly firmer in texture and a different shape. These chocolate cubes can be served as a dessert or as a snack.

To make the chocolate cubes, condensed milk is combined with the dark chocolate and milk chocolate in a pot on the stove. Then, once the chocolate is smooth and melted, the mixture gets poured into a rectangular silicone mold before being refrigerated until set. Once the chocolate mixture is set, it can be unmolded, cut into cubes, and dusted with cocoa powder. This simple confection will be wonderful to serve anytime when you need a chocolate fix.

What are Chocolate Cubes?

These chocolate cubes are chocolates that include both milk chocolate and dark chocolate, along with cocoa powder for extra decadence. Chocolate is an ingredient that is used in many confections today. It is derived from roasted cocoa beans that have been fermented. The cocoa beans can be processed into cocoa butter and cocoa powder or different types of chocolate bars and chocolate chips that can be used in various desserts.

These chocolate cubes require a mold to make them. A silicone rectangular mold is best as it is easy to remove the chocolate from it to slice it. However, it is also possible to use other types of silicone molds or even an ice cube tray to make this chocolate cube recipe.

Anyone who enjoys dark chocolate will love these decadent chocolate cubes. The blend of dark and milk chocolate make these perfect to have as a snack or dessert any time of the day.

Pro Tips

• Make sure the chocolate is melted into the condensed milk over low heat to ensure it doesn’t scorch.
• Line the silicone mold with parchment paper to make it even easier to unmold the chocolate.
• Feel free to replace the dark chocolate and milk chocolate with other types of chocolate if desired. Semi-sweet chocolate or bittersweet chocolate would both work well. You could also make these chocolate cubes with all dark chocolate or all milk chocolate if preferred.
• If you love the combination of chocolate and nuts, you can add some chopped almonds, peanuts, or hazelnuts into the chocolate mixture.
• Fruit lovers can feel free to add dried fruit to the chocolate like chopped dried apricots, dried cranberries, and dried cherries.
• For a spiced flavor, mix the cocoa powder with cinnamon before dusting the chocolate cubes.
•  Use a measuring tape to help you cut the chocolate cubes into even-sized pieces.

What to Serve with Chocolate Cubes?

These chocolate cubes can be served on their own or with a hot beverage or dessert liquor. They can also be added to the coffee table along with plates of cookies or bowls of nuts to serve to guests and family over the holidays.

Can I Replace the Condensed Milk?

Yes, you could replace it with heavy cream if desired. However, since condensed milk is sweetened, you should also add some sweetener to the heavy cream such as honey or maple syrup.

Can I Add Other Ingredients to the Chocolates?

Yes, if you enjoy nuts or dried fruit in your chocolate, you can feel free to add them to the chocolate mixture before you pour it into the mold. For a fruit and nut chocolate, combine chopped apricots, dried cranberries, and slivered almonds with the chocolate before pouring it into the mold. Alternatively, you could fold toffee bits and chopped peanuts into the chocolate for a more textured chocolate.

Can I Make the Chocolates in a Different Mold?

Yes, you definitely could! If you don’t have a silicone rectangular mold, feel free to use any silicone mold that you have such as a square or round cake pan. You could also pour it into the portions of an ice cube tray for easy portioning.
