They are like brownies. They are like chocolate truffles. They taste silky smooth and can melt in your mouth. I call them brownie truffles. Just be careful because they are addictive.
1 (3.5 oz) Ghirardelli Intense Dark Twilight Delight 72% Cacao bar, chopped
3ozunsalted butter
2 teaspoons (10g) all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
cocoa powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Heat up milk and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Keep stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved and bring to a slow boil. Turn off the heat.
Dissolve dark chocolate in the saucepan by stirring constantly.
Stir in butter until melted.
Add egg, sea salt, and vanilla into the chocolate mixture and stir.
Add flour and stir until all the flour is gone and the final mixture is visually smooth and even.
Pour the mixture into a 5″ x 9″ buttered baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes.
When done baking, let the brownie truffle cool down and refrigerate it over night.
Cut the truffle into small squares (0.5″ x 0.5″) and coat them with cocoa powder. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to double the recipe if you desire to yield more. Add 10-15 more minutes of the baking time or until the mixture is solidified.
I recommend using 72% cocoa dark chocolate for this recipe. A Higher percentage of cocoa will increase the bitterness, but it’s totally up to your own taste. 🙂
Make sure to refrigerate the brownie truffle overnight before serving. It’s a crucial step to reach our desired tenderness and smoothness.
