Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dulce de leche
  • 2 4 oz bittersweet chocolate bars chopped
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. baking soda

Instructions

  • In a pan over medium heat add in unsalted butter and allow to melt. Once the butter starts bubbling, add white sugar and dark brown sugar.
  • Mix to combine, remove from heat and add semi sweet chocolate chips.
  • Stir until the mixture is smooth and set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl add vegetable oil, cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully incorporated.
  • Next, pour in the cooled chocolate/sugar mixture and whisk together.
  • Then, add in the eggs one at a time making sure to mix completely before adding the next egg.
  • Fold in flour, salt and baking soda followed by half of the chopped bittersweet chocolate pieces.
  • Transfer to a greased 9 x 9 baking dish, dollop dulce de leche throughout and swirl into the brownie batter.
  • Top with remaining chopped bittersweet chocolate pieces and place in a preheated oven at 325F.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until the center of the brownies in the pan are set to the touch (the brownies will keep baking in the hot pan out of the oven). If using the toothpick test, it will not come out with crumbs since this is for fudge-textured brownies.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature before dividing into pieces. Enjoy!

The best desserts are the ones that are easy to make, but taste like it’s been baking for hours! Today, I’ll be sharing with you a no-bake cheesecake recipe that is guaranteed to please your sweet tooth.

You heard right, no-bake cheesecake truffles. They are simple to make and hold well in the fridge for several days. But I doubt that they will last you longer than two days. Lol.

I decided to make them three different ways: Classic Strawberry, Oreo, and Chocolate Chip.

First things first, you’ll start with the base for the truffles. For the Oreo and chocolate chip truffles, you will make a plain base by mixing the cream cheese, butter, lime juice, vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly and set in the fridge to chill.

For the strawberry truffles, you’ll make a delicious strawberry glaze by adding strawberries, sugar and water to a pot over medium heat. Once the strawberries start breaking down, mix with a hand mixer or blend until smooth and set it aside to cool.  Once the glaze is cooled to room temperature, swirl in 2 tbsp. of the strawberry glaze into the plain base to give it a nice tart and sweet taste in the end. Set the mixture in the fridge to cool for at least two hours.

While they are chilling in the fridge, you can go ahead and make the coating of your choice. I went with graham crackers, Oreos and chocolate chip cookies. (I used the mini versions of the Oreo cookies and chocolate chip because they are easier to manage and cheaper). Working in batches, one coating at a time, add to your food processor and pulse until you get a fine powder. Of course, during this part, I was eating the Oreo cookies before I could get them processed, lol. But thankfully I bought enough for me and this recipe. 🙂

Once everything is cooled, roll one tbsp. of the base into truffles and set on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This recipe should make 15-16 truffles. Return to the fridge one last time to set for 20 mins. Remove from the fridge, and roll each truffle in the coating of your choice! Don’t forget to make a mess like I did, it’s way more fun lol.

After you’ve got all your truffles coated, drizzle each with the topping your choice! For the classic strawberry, drizzle the top of each truffle with the strawberry glaze. For the Oreo, drizzle each truffle with melted white chocolate. And for the chocolate chip, drizzle each truffle with melted semi-sweet chocolate.
