Easy Brownie Truffles Recipe
These brownie cream cheese truffles are rich, chocolatey, and perfect for gifting. Made with a boxed brownie mix, cream cheese, and a smooth chocolate coating, they're easy to make and look like a treat from a fancy bakery.
Ingredients
- 1 (18 ounce) box of brownie mix + ingredients listed on box
- 8 ounces full-fat, brick-style cream cheese room temperature
- 3 cups chocolate melting wafers
- sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Prepare the brownies in a 9x13 inch pan according to the package directions. Allow the brownies to cool completely.
- Scoop out the baked brownies into a large bowl leaving the firmer edges behind.
- Add the cream cheese to the brownies and beat with a hand or stand mixer until well combined and no lumps of cream cheese remain.
- Roll the brownie mixture into 1 tablespoon sized balls and arrange them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes or until solid.
- Once the truffles are frozen, melt the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe bowl in 20 second increments until smooth.
- Use a fork to dip the frozen truffles in the chocolate to coat them. Gently tap the fork to shake off the excess chocolate before returning to the baking sheet. Immediately top with sprinkles.
- Place the truffles in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set.
Notes
- Store the brownie truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. As the truffles contain cream cheese they do need to be refrigerated.
- The brownie truffles can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 months. Place the truffles in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a sealed container or a zip-top bag. Allow them to thaw in the refrigerator before serving them.
