Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (18-20 oz/500 g) brownie mix
- 200 g (7 oz) semi-sweet or dark chocolate
- 3 tbsps cream cheese or frosting
- Sprinkles
- Chopped nuts
- Cocoa powder
- Crushed cookies
Instructions
- Crumb Creation: Meticulously disintegrate brownies into fine, uniform crumbs within a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring a consistent, moist texture throughout.
- Binding Process: Gradually incorporate cream cheese, kneading the mixture until it achieves a malleable consistency that allows effortless shaping into compact spheres.
- Truffle Formation: Carefully roll the mixture between palms, crafting smooth, symmetrical truffle globes with precise, uniform dimensions, then transfer to a parchment-lined tray.
- Chilling Phase: Refrigerate the raw truffles for 15-20 minutes, allowing them to solidify and maintain their structural integrity during the coating process.
- Coating Technique: Select your preferred coating – melted chocolate, cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or decorative sprinkles – and meticulously enrobe each truffle, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Final Refinement: Return the coated truffles to the refrigerator, permitting them to set completely and develop a crisp exterior, then transfer to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
Manage Moisture Levels: Ensure brownies are not overly dry or crumbly, as this affects truffle binding and texture.
Gentle Handling Technique: Use light, soft touch when mixing and rolling to prevent dense, heavy truffles that lose delicate chocolate essence.
Temperature Control Matters: Keep truffles chilled during preparation and coating to maintain structural integrity and prevent premature melting.
Coating Consistency Tip: Maintain melted chocolate or coating at optimal temperature (around 90°F) for smooth, even coverage without clumping or streaking.
