Brownie Base
- 1 (18 ounce) box of brownie mix
- Ingredients listed on brownie mix box (typically eggs, oil, and water)
Truffle Mixture
- 8 ounces full-fat, brick-style cream cheese, room temperature
Coating and Decoration
- 3 cups chocolate melting wafers
- Sprinkles for decorating
- Prepare the Brownies: Follow the directions on the brownie mix box to bake the brownies in a 9×13 inch pan. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely to room temperature.
- Scoop Brownies: Using a spoon or scoop, remove the soft interior portion of the brownies into a large mixing bowl, leaving the firmer edges behind in the pan.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Add the room temperature cream cheese to the bowl with the scooped brownies. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the mixture until fully combined and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps of cream cheese left.
- Form Truffle Balls: Roll the brownie and cream cheese mixture into 1 tablespoon-sized balls. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the tray in the freezer for about 30 minutes or until the truffles are solid.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 20-second increments, stirring between each until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Coat Truffles: Using a fork, dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Gently tap the fork to remove excess chocolate, then place the coated truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with desired sprinkles for decoration.
- Set Chocolate: Transfer the coated truffles to the refrigerator and chill for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to firm up and set before serving.
Notes
- For easier rolling, keep your hands slightly damp or use a small cookie scoop.
- Any flavor of sprinkles can be used to match the occasion or theme.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Allow truffles to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer, substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a slightly different creaminess.
