Ingredients Notes

The beauty of this recipe lies in the simplicity of the ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need and some helpful tips to make the most of each component.
- Brownies: You can use any type of brownies you have on hand, whether they’re homemade or from a box mix. The richer and fudgier the brownie, the better your truffles will taste. If you like, mix in some walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture.
- Cream Cheese: This is the secret ingredient that binds the brownie crumbs together and adds a touch of tang to balance out the sweetness. Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Chocolate for Coating: Use high-quality melting chocolate for the best results. Dark, milk, or white chocolate all work beautifully, depending on your taste. I recommend melting the chocolate using a double boiler or the microwave in short bursts, stirring between each, to prevent burning.
- Optional Toppings: Crushed nuts, shredded coconut, rainbow sprinkles, or a drizzle of white chocolate can add a lovely finish. Get creative with the decorations!
For equipment, you’ll need a mixing bowl, a fork, and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you have a small cookie scoop, it makes rolling the truffles a breeze!
How To Make These Brownie Truffles

Making these Brownie Truffles is so simple that you'll wonder why you haven't been doing it for years. Let’s walk through the process together.
- Crumble the Brownies: Start by placing your brownies in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork or your hands to break them down into fine crumbs. The more even the crumbs, the smoother your truffle texture will be.
- Mix in the Cream Cheese: Add softened cream cheese to the brownie crumbs and mix thoroughly. It may seem sticky at first, but keep working until you have a uniform, dough-like consistency. If it’s too dry, add a little more cream cheese, a tablespoon at a time.
- Roll into Balls: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands. Place each truffle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop the tray into the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to firm up the truffles, making them easier to coat.
- Melt the Chocolate: While the truffles are chilling, melt your chocolate using your preferred method. If it’s too thick, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil or coconut oil to thin it out for smoother coating.
- Coat the Truffles: Using a fork or a skewer, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined tray and decorate immediately with your chosen toppings before the chocolate hardens.
- Chill and Serve: Let the truffles set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating is firm. Serve chilled or at room temperature for an irresistible treat!
Storage Options
One of the best things about these Brownie Truffles is that they store well, making them great for make-ahead occasions.
- Refrigerate: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They’ll maintain their perfect texture and flavor, ready to grab whenever a sweet craving strikes.
- Freeze: If you want to keep them longer, freeze the truffles in a single layer, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They’ll last for up to 3 months. Just let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
- Reheat: While these truffles don’t need reheating, you can let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to soften slightly if frozen.
Variations and Substitutions
The options for customizing these Brownie Truffles are endless. Here are some ideas to inspire you:
- Peanut Butter Lovers: Mix a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter into the brownie and cream cheese mixture for a rich, nutty flavor.
- Boozy Truffles: Add a splash of Baileys or rum to the mixture for an adult twist. Be sure to adjust the amount of cream cheese to keep the texture consistent.
- Vegan Version: Use vegan brownies and dairy-free cream cheese to make a plant-based version of these truffles. Opt for dark chocolate that doesn’t contain dairy.
- White Chocolate Coating: For a striking visual contrast, coat your truffles in white chocolate and drizzle with dark chocolate.
- Flavor Boost: Add a dash of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor or a pinch of sea salt for a gourmet touch.
The fun is in experimenting and finding your favorite combination. Let your creativity shine, and don't be afraid to get a little messy – that’s part of the joy of making these truffles! Enjoy every fudgy, chocolatey bite.
