Ingredients
Scale
- 200 grams (7 oz) semi-sweet or dark chocolate
- 1 box (18-20 oz/500 g) brownie mix
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) cream cheese or frosting
- Sprinkles
- Chopped nuts
- Cocoa powder
- Crushed cookies
Instructions
- Preparation: Pulverize cooled brownies into fine crumbs within a large mixing bowl. Blend cream cheese or frosting until the mixture achieves a malleable, cohesive texture that holds together seamlessly.
- Shaping: Mold uniform truffle spheres by scooping and rolling the brownie mixture between palms. Arrange on a parchment-lined tray and chill for 30 minutes to firm the delicate orbs.
- Coating: Melt chocolate using microwave technique, stirring at intervals to create a smooth, glossy finish. Completely submerge each chilled brownie sphere, allowing excess chocolate to drip off elegantly.
- Decoration: Immediately adorn chocolate-covered truffles with optional garnishes like chopped nuts, sprinkles, or crushed cookies while the coating remains wet. Position on parchment paper to set.
- Finishing: Allow chocolate shell to fully crystallize at room temperature or in refrigerator. Transfer to a serving platter or store in an airtight container to preserve the truffles’ luxurious texture and rich flavor profile.
Notes
- Precision in Brownie Crumbling: Ensure brownies are completely cooled before crumbling to prevent sticky, unmanageable texture that compromises truffle formation.
- Temperature Control for Coating: Maintain chocolate melting temperature between 86-90°F to achieve glossy, smooth coating without seizing or becoming grainy.
- Moisture Management: Add cream cheese or frosting incrementally to prevent overly wet mixture that could collapse during shaping and coating processes.
- Garnish Timing: Apply decorative toppings immediately after chocolate coating while surface remains wet, ensuring maximum adherence and visual appeal.
