Ingredients needed
No brownie or brownie mix is needed to make these truffles. The rich brownie flavor is achieved with the help of these four ingredients.
- Nutella. While any chocolate spread works, I find Nutella has the best flavor and texture.
- Liquid sweetener. Use pure maple syrup or honey. This helps keep the filling gooey and soft.
- Coconut flour. This flour is suitable to enjoy without baking, and is naturally thicker than other flours. This means it soaks up moisture easier, making these truffles more on the fudgy and cakey side.
Flour swap
If you aren’t a fan of coconut flour, you can use almond flour, oat flour, or heat-treated all purpose flour.
- Chocolate chips. Melted, to coat the truffles in them. I like using semi-sweet chocolate.
How to make brownie truffles
The most difficult thing about making these brownie truffles is to wait for them to firm up.
- Make the brownie batter. Add the chocolate spread, coconut flour, and syrup to a large bowl and stir well. If the batter is too thick, add more syrup until the mixture is thick yet creamy.
- Shape. Use your hands to form even-sized balls out of this mixture. Put the balls on a lined baking sheet.
- Cover in chocolate. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals until melted. Using a fork, dip the brownie mixture in the melted chocolate, ensuring that they are fully coated. Drizzle the excess chocolate over the top. Place the truffles back on the lined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm.
Tips to make the best recipe
- Use blanched almond flour. If you don’t have coconut flour or don’t like it, substitute it with blanched almond flour. As coconut flour is highly absorbed, you will need to use a lot more almond flour to achieve the needed consistency.
- Use other kinds of chocolate. Dark chocolate, melting wafers and chocolate wafers are all fantastic options.
- Use a cookie scoop. Making even-sized truffles is very easy with the help of an ice cream scoop.
- Top with flaky salt. Like with chocolate coconut bars, the flaky salt will add some crunch to these creamy bites and will elevate their chocolate flavor.
Storage instructions
To store. Store these truffles at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Always keep them in an airtight container.
To freeze. You can also freeze the truffles for up to 2 months. Put sheets of parchment paper in between the truffles to prevent them from sticking to each other.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can make brownie truffles using brownie mix. Bake a brownie using the mix. Combine it with cream cheese or another moist ingredient and form truffles.
Classic truffles do contain ganache as a filling. Ganache is made from semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate and cream.
The easiest way to coat truffles in chocolate is to put them on a skewer and dip them in a bowl filled with melted chocolate. This method helps you achieve an even layer of chocolate on the truffle.

Wow, I love how each brownie truffle is just SOAKED in MORE chocolate! And a thick layer of chocolate too! Sea salt on top of each truffle is absolutely perfect. It’s a tasty treat anyone can enjoy!

I love your receipt Im fun of cooking and making sweets and cook special receipt meals
So delicious! I made 1/2 recipe, using 1/4 cup sweet white rice flour instead of coconut flour (since I didn’t have any coconut flour) I used 1/4 cup maple syrup for the liquid sweetener… A fine sprinkling of coarsely ground pink Himalayan sea salt is a must! Perfect! Thanks so much for this recipe!
