Equipment
- 1 9-inch round cake pan greased
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 microwave-safe bowl for melting chocolate
Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
Chocolate Coating
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate melted
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract; whisk until fully combined. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt; fold gently until just combined. Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch round cake pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownie to cool completely before proceeding.
- Break the cooled brownie into small pieces. In a large bowl, use your hands to form 1-inch balls from the brownie mixture. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Using a fork, dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring even coating. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined tray.
Serving
- Refrigerate the chocolate-coated truffles for at least 30 minutes to set. Once set, arrange them on a serving platter.
Storage
- Store leftover truffles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
