Dark Chocolate Truffle Brownies
Ingredients
- 100 grams Dark Chocolate Truffles
- 115 grams Butter (about 1/2 Cup)
- 3/4 cups White Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Instant Coffee (or 1 espresso shot)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Sugar
- 3/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F or 175C.
- Combine the butter and truffles in a microwave safe container. Microwave until just melted, stopping and stirring every 20 or so seconds.
- Once the chocolate and butter are melted, combine in a small bowl with the sugar, vanilla sugar, and coffee.
- Stir thoroughly to combine.
- The mixture should be just warm at this point, not hot. If it’s hot let it cool so a few minutes.
- In a small bowl whisk together the two eggs.
- Add the eggs into the sugar and chocolate mixture and stir thoroughly. (don’t worry, there is no flour in here yet so you won’t mix it too much)
- Now add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to the rest of the mixture.
- Stir to combine(don’t mix too much at this point).
- Pour into your baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes (start checking them at 25 minutes, they may take more or less time based on your oven and baking dish)
These are a bit hard to tell when they are done because they remain pretty gooey in the center and dense and fudgy even at the edges. I took this batch out a little early and the center was a little less done than optimal, so don’t get nervous about over-baking these, the extra richness from the truffles really helps to eliminate that possibility. A knife or toothpick won’t come out clean when you test these, but the center should be set and no longer jiggly when you gently touch it.
