Why you’ll love these brownie truffles

• A no-bake recipe. You don’t need to bake a brownie to make these truffles. You don’t even need leftover brownies (although our flourless brownies or eggless brownies would be fab in these).
• Only 4 ingredients. Like edible brownie batter, the decadent flavor and texture of these brownie truffles are achieved with only four ingredients. 
• Diet friendly. Naturally gluten-free, these truffles can also be made dairy free! 

If un-baked brownies are your thing, try our no bake brownie bites or no bake brownies.

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. 

• 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. 

1. 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. 
2. Shape. Use your hands to form even-sized balls out of this mixture. Put the balls on a lined baking sheet.
3. 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.
