Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz dark chocolate (70% cacao), chopped
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp instant espresso powder optional

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the chopped chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until combined.
  • Add eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and espresso powder (if using). Whisk until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  • Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a thin, even layer (about 1/4 inch thick).
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the surface is set but still slightly soft in the center. Let cool completely on the pan.
  • Once cooled, break the brownie into chunks and transfer to a food processor. Pulse until finely ground.
  • Add 1/2 cup (60g) of powdered sugar to the food processor and pulse to combine. The mixture should resemble wet sand.
  • Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
  • Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Roll each truffle in additional cocoa powder or powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
