Description

Decadent and bite-sized brownie truffles coated in smooth melted chocolate, perfect for an elegant dessert or festive treat. These indulgent truffles combine rich brownies with cream cheese for a creamy texture, then are dipped in chocolate and decorated to your liking.

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 1 batch of brownies (8×8” or 9×9” pan size)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownie Mixture: Roughly chop the cooled brownies and place them in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Break them down on low speed. Add in the room temperature cream cheese and mix again until fully combined, forming a dense, pliable brownie mass.
  2. Shape the Truffles: Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out the brownie mixture and roll each portion between your hands until a smooth ball forms. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. Alternatively, press the brownie mixture into a brick shape between parchment paper and use cookie cutters to create specific shapes.
  3. Freeze: Freeze the shaped truffles until firm while preparing the chocolate coating to ensure easy handling and a crisp chocolate shell.
  4. Melt Chocolate: Set a mixing bowl over a saucepan with about 1 inch of simmering water (double boiler). Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to the bowl. Allow the chocolate to melt slowly, stirring occasionally until completely smooth and glossy.
  5. Dip Truffles: Using a chocolate dipping tool or two forks, dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate. Roll to coat fully and let the excess chocolate drip off. Transfer the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet pan.
  6. Decorate: Pour the excess melted chocolate into a piping bag and drizzle decoratively over the truffles. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt, sprinkles, nuts, or crushed freeze-dried fruit as desired.
  7. Set: Refrigerate the coated truffles for about 1 hour to allow the chocolate to fully set and harden before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing with the brownies.
  • Freezing the truffles before dipping helps the chocolate coating set quickly and prevents melting.
  • Coconut oil helps the chocolate coating remain glossy and smooth.
  • Customize toppings like sea salt or nuts for added flavor and texture contrast.
  • Store the finished truffles refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
