Fried Brownie Truffle Bites

Crush

In a large bowl, crush the brownies. It's easiest to just use your hands to crush up the brownies into small pieces.

Mix

Using a wooden spoon, mix together the crushed brownies with the cream cheese and chocolate chips. Stir until well combined. It doesn't have to be perfect.

Roll

Using your hands, roll the brownie mixture into 12 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Heat

When ready to fry, place 1½ inches of canola oil in a Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. You want the oil to get to 350°F.

Whisk

While the oil is heating, whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt, egg, and soda water together until smooth.

Fry

Working in batches, coat each brownie bite in the batter mixture and then fry 3-4 at a time. Fry until the outer coating is crispy, turning once. I fried each bite for about 2 minutes, but times might vary.

Drain

After done, use a slotted spoon to remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain.

Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
