Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box brownie mix (prepared as directed, then cooled and crumbled)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) cream cheese, softened
Coating/Topping Ingredients:
- Optional: cocoa powder
- Optional: sprinkles
- Optional: chopped nuts
- Optional: shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to package-recommended temperature and bake brownies until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow brownies to cool completely, then meticulously crumble into fine, uniform pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine brownie crumbles with softened cream cheese. Blend thoroughly until the mixture achieves a smooth, cohesive consistency that holds together easily.
- Using clean hands, gently form the mixture into compact, uniform spheres approximately one inch in diameter. Arrange these delicate orbs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Utilize a microwave-safe bowl to melt chocolate chips, pausing every 20 seconds to stir and prevent burning. Continue until the chocolate reaches a silky, glossy texture.
- Carefully submerge each brownie sphere into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage. Delicately return the chocolate-coated truffles to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Sprinkle optional decorative toppings immediately after coating while chocolate remains wet. Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for approximately 30 minutes until chocolate solidifies completely.
Notes
- Adjust brownie consistency by adding extra moisture if the mixture feels too crumbly when forming balls.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother blending and easier mixing with brownie crumbs.
- Chill mixture briefly before rolling if it feels too soft, which helps create perfectly round truffles.
- Experiment with different chocolate coatings like white, dark, or milk chocolate for varied flavor profiles.
