CREAM CHEESE BROWNIE TRUFFLES

Nov.posted by Paula 3 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Cream Cheese Brownie Truffles make a fun, easy recipe and sweet treat for the holidays. They are ultra-delicious with only 3 ingredients!

If you are unfamiliar with cake balls, they are made of a baked cake crumbled and mixed with frosting which holds them together. They’re coated in chocolate and can be decorated in various ways. Brownie Truffles are basically ‘cake balls’ but they have cream cheese instead of frosting holding them together.

Also, whoever first developed cake balls, thank you!! Thank you from the bottom of my tummy! You’re a genius!

EASY BROWNIE TRUFFLES with cream cheese

CREAM CHEESE BROWNIE TRUFFLES

These cake balls, brownie balls, brownie truffles, whatever name you want to call them, are moist, rich, super delicious, and uber easy!

You can use any brownie recipe or even a box mix. You can even use my 2 Ingredient Brownie recipe to make these truffles.

Additionally, you can make them weeks in advance. They freeze well and make tasty dessert bites on your holiday dessert table.

I also like to give them as gifts to neighbors, teachers. and hostess gifts.

For the chocolate coating, I like to use dark chocolate. It’s a nice contrast since the candy bars are so sweet. However, you can use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate. I do recommend using Wilton Candy Melts so a smooth even coating.

You can add a decoration on top if you choose or leave them plain.

Melting chocolate can be tricky, frustrating, and irritating! I wrote this post How to Melt Chocolate that may help you.

HOW TO DECORATE BROWNIE TRUFFLES

You’ll need to add the toppings before the chocolate hardens so it’ll stick.

  • Dip them in dark chocolate and drizzle with white chocolate.
  • Top with chopped nuts – pecans, walnuts, almonds, peanuts
  • You can also top with mini chocolate chips
  • Sprinkle brownie crumbs on top
  • Add crushed peppermint or sprinkles to the top
  • You can also turn them into lollipops using these lollipop sticks.
