Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate and Base Ingredients:
- 1 batch prepared brownies (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Melting and Coating Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) coconut oil or butter
Decoration Ingredients:
- Sprinkles
- Nuts
- Cocoa powder
Instructions
- Transform freshly baked brownies into fine, delicate crumbs using your hands or a food processor, ensuring a uniform texture.
- Gently shape the brownie crumbs into compact, uniform spheres, roughly the size of a small tablespoon.
- Arrange the brownie spheres on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up their structure.
- Create a luxurious chocolate coating by melting chocolate chips with a touch of coconut oil or butter, stirring until achieving a silky, glossy consistency.
- Carefully immerse each chilled brownie sphere into the molten chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage using a dipping fork or skewer.
- Return the chocolate-enrobed truffles to the parchment-lined tray, allowing artistic freedom with sprinkles, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts for decorative flair.
- Allow the truffles to set in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate coating hardens and becomes crisp, creating a delectable treat with a smooth, glossy exterior.
Notes
- Crumb consistency matters most for smooth, uniform truffles – break brownies into ultra-fine, even crumbs for best texture.
- Chilling the brownie balls before dipping helps them hold shape and prevents crumbling during chocolate coating.
- Use room temperature brownies for easier rolling and shaping, making the truffle-making process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Experiment with different chocolate coatings like white, dark, or milk chocolate to create varied flavor profiles and visual appeal.
