200gramsdark chocolate (2 bars of Lindt Excellence 70%)
1tspcoconut oil
sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
Make 1 recipe of Fudgy Brownies. Allow the brownies to cool to room temperature before forming the truffles.***I let my brownies sit overnight in an airtight container. If your brownies have any crusty edges, they will soften overnight.
Break the brownies up and knead them with your hands until you have formed 1 big brownie ball.
Have a parchment lined pan nearby.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of brownie per truffle, roll them between your palms to shape them into a ball and smooth them out. Place each formed truffle on the parchment lined pan.
Once all of the truffles have been formed, cover them and place them in the freezer for about an hour (you want them frozen before dipping them in chocolate).
Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a small pan. Over medium heat, melt the chocolate and coconut oil. Once melted remove the pan from the heat.***I pour my melted chocolate in a 1 cup glass measuring cup. It makes dipping the truffles easier and cleaner.
Dip each truffle into the chocolate, coating the entire truffle and knock off any excess chocolate. Place the dipped truffle back onto the parchment lined pan. I use a toothpick to do this. It does leave a small hole behind, but it can be covered with drizzle or decoration. Repeat for all of the truffles.
Once done dipping all of the truffles, drizzle them with leftover dipping chocolate. Optional - decorate them with sprinkles or colored sugar.
Place the truffles in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes for the chocolate to set.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
