Ingredients
Scale
Brownies
- 1 (18 ounce) box of brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
Filling
- 8 ounces full-fat, brick-style cream cheese, room temperature
Coating
- 3 cups chocolate melting wafers
- Sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Follow the package directions to prepare the brownies in a 9×13 inch pan. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely to room temperature before proceeding.
- Scoop Brownie Mixture: Using a spoon, scoop out the softer interior brownie portions into a large mixing bowl, leaving the firmer edges behind in the pan.
- Combine with Cream Cheese: Add the full-fat cream cheese to the bowl with the brownies. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture until fully combined and smooth, ensuring no lumps of cream cheese remain.
- Form Truffle Balls: Roll the brownie and cream cheese mixture into 1 tablespoon-sized balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for about 30 minutes or until the truffles are solid.
- Melt Chocolate Wafers: Place the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Truffles in Chocolate: Using a fork, dip the frozen truffles into the melted chocolate to coat evenly. Gently tap the fork against the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate, then return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately decorate with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Set Chocolate Coating: Place the coated truffles in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and set completely before serving.
Notes
- Be sure the brownies are completely cool before mixing with cream cheese to prevent melting and soggy texture.
- Freezing the truffles before dipping helps maintain shape when coating with chocolate.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute chocolate melting wafers with good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips if preferred.
- Store the truffles refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- For a different twist, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of espresso powder to the brownie mixture before rolling.
