No Bake Chocolate Cake Batter Truffles
These No Bake Chocolate Cake Batter Truffles have all the taste of the most indulgent and delicious chocolate cake in a bite-sized truffle!! So simple and delicious!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate unsweetened cocoa powder (milk chocolate is also fine)
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 9 tbsp salted butter at room temperature, divided
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup milk
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate pieces or chips
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, nuts, shaved chocolate, coconut flakes
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, or using a kitchen mixer, beat together sugar, 8 tbsp of butter, and vanilla, until light and fluffy (approximately 3 minutes).
- Slowly add dry ingredients to wet a little at a time, and alternate with milk. Using a mixer, continue to mix until the dry ingredients are completely incorporated into a thick batter.
- Roll the batter into small balls that are 1 - 1.5 inches thick. Place the cake batter balls onto parchment paper. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before dipping in chocolate.
- Prepare your chocolate shell: melt your semi-sweet chocolate and 1 tbsp butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals. Alternatively, heat on the stove over a double boiler.
- Place a toothpick through the top of the cake batter balls, and dip them into the chocolate (you can also use a fork). Completely coat and set on parchment paper to dry. Sprinkle any toppings on the truffles.
- Completely dry at room temperature for at least an hour before serving. You can also refrigerate for 30-40 minutes or freeze for approximately 20 minutes. Once dried, remove toothpicks and serve!
