- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 25 1x
Description
Black Forest Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs blend rich chocolate brownies with cherry-studded cookie dough, creating a luxurious German-inspired dessert. Chocolate lovers will savor layers of intense flavor and creamy textures that make this treat irresistible.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownies)
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter
- 12 oz (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- ¼ cup maraschino cherries, chopped and patted dry
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk
- Optional garnish: extra chopped cherries or chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Prepare Cookie Dough: Cream butter and sugars until fluffy, then blend in vanilla, flour, and milk to create a smooth dough. Gently incorporate mini chocolate chips and chopped maraschino cherries, ensuring even distribution.
- Shape and Freeze Dough: Form uniform one-inch cookie dough spheres and freeze on a chilled baking sheet for 15-20 minutes to firm up the balls.
- Wrap Brownie Layers: Cut cooled brownies into two-inch squares, then carefully flatten and encase each frozen cookie dough ball, meticulously sealing the edges to create seamless rounds.
- Chill Wrapped Bombs: Return the wrapped bombs to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to stabilize their structure before coating.
- Chocolate Coating: Melt chocolate in the microwave, stirring at 30-second intervals until smooth and glossy. Dip each bomb using a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing on a parchment-lined surface.
- Garnish and Set: While chocolate is still liquid, sprinkle with optional cherry pieces or chocolate shavings. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until chocolate completely hardens, creating a decadent, glossy finish.
Notes
- Chill Strategically: Freeze cookie dough balls for precise texture and easier handling during assembly, preventing crumbling and maintaining structural integrity.
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Use low, consistent microwave heat and stir frequently to prevent chocolate scorching, ensuring smooth, glossy coating without burning.
- Uniform Size Matters: Create consistently sized cookie dough spheres for even baking, aesthetic presentation, and balanced flavor distribution in each bomb.
- Moisture Management: Pat maraschino cherries dry before chopping to prevent excess liquid from compromising cookie dough’s texture and structural stability.
