Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix

  • 2 large eggs
  • 8 milk or dark chocolate truffles unwrapped (I used Lindt)
  • Mixed fresh berries vanilla ice cream, and chocolate sauce
  • or for a simple presentation, confectioners' sugar for dusting for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease four 6-ounce ramekins or cocottes with cooking spray. Place prepared dishes on a rimmed baking sheet. Set aside.
  • Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, using vegetable oil and eggs. 
    1 box brownie mix, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs
  • Spoon ½cup of the brownie batter in each ramekin, then press 2 chocolate truffles side by side into the center of each. Spoon ¼ cup of the remaining brownie batter over the top of the truffles in each ramekin and smooth the tops with the back of the spoon.
    8 milk or dark chocolate truffles
  • Bake the brownie cakes until the batter is set and dry on top, about 25 minutes. Transfer the ramekins to a wire rack and let the cakes cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Top the cakes with fresh berries and serve warm with ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. Or simply sift confectioners' sugar over top and serve.
