Brownie Truffles
RECIPE COURTESY OF REE DRUMMOND
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 40 min (includes freezing time)
Active: 45 min
Yield: 18 truffles

Ingredients

1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, plus more for greasing
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 mounded tablespoons cocoa powder
Pinch kosher salt
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
8 ounces dark baking chocolate
1/4 cup chopped pistachios

Directions

Butter a 9-inch square baking dish. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a saucepan, melt the butter until just bubbling. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sugars until combined.

Add the bittersweet chocolate, then stir to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, then mix until well combined. Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt, then fold until well mixed. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.

Bake until just set in the middle, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes.

Cut and transfer the brownies to a food processor; alternately, you can use a hand mixer. Add the softened cream cheese and process until smooth.

Using a mounded 1-tablespoon scoop, remove golf ball-size portions of the mixture and roll so that they are perfectly round. Place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Place the tray in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.

Melt the dark baking chocolate over a double boiler until smooth.

Using a fork, dip the truffles in the chocolate, coating them completely. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet immediately, then sprinkle with the pistachios.

Return to the freezer to let the chocolate harden for 5 to 10 minutes.

Serve or transfer to an airtight container. The truffles can be stored at room temperature for a couple of days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

You love your Dad, so it makes sense to celebrate him and his beautiful new house with truffles. You’re blessed to have a wonderful father & he’s blessed to have a wonderful daughter. 😊

I am saving this to my holiday bake list. Looks incredible, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the inventive use of brownies - especially those that might have dried out.
I don't know if Ree actually reads comments on YouTube but I might suggest adding a bit of espresso powder and browning the butter.

Hi Ree I love your beautiful hair style and your kids and the chocolate 🍫 brownies and love your videos and good content and you are such an amazing mom to your kids and your husband

[heygivemeabite]

I'm curious about the taste and want to try it.😊👍

[DouglasFergen-pqru]

Ree you might want to try those truffles from Chunnys in Lead SD

[InterestedCitizen]

Oh my goodness. Worth the bad lab cholesterol count! 😋😊😉😘

They look delicious. My question is can I make and give as gifts and the friends NOT have to keep them refrigerated? Truffles from See's or other candy stores are delicious and remain fresh in the box without going in the fridge. Is that not possible with these?

the minute long house showing was a weird flex to put into a barely 7 minute brownie video
