Description
Leftover Brownie Truffles transform leftover brownies into decadent, bite-sized chocolate treats. Combining crumbled brownies with cream cheese or frosting creates a creamy dough that’s rolled into balls, chilled, and coated in rich melted chocolate for an irresistible dessert bite.
Ingredients
Brownie Mixture
- 2 cups crumbled brownies
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese or chocolate frosting
Coating
- 8 oz melted chocolate (for coating)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Mixture: Place 2 cups of crumbled brownies into a mixing bowl.
- Add Binding Ingredient: Add 3 tablespoons of cream cheese or chocolate frosting to the bowl and mix thoroughly until the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency that can be rolled.
- Shape Truffles: Roll the brownie mixture into small, evenly sized balls to ensure uniform chilling and coating.
- Chill Balls: Place the rolled balls onto a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes until firm to handle easily.
- Coat with Chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle into 8 ounces of melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Set on Parchment: Place the coated truffles back onto parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Add Toppings: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder or decorative sprinkles if desired for extra flavor and presentation.
- Let Chocolate Set: Allow the chocolate coating to fully harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
- Store truffles refrigerated for up to one week to maintain freshness and texture.
- For variety, roll truffles in crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or cocoa powder instead of coating with melted chocolate.
