When everyone says, CAL is an addiction, I didn't realise what they meant until couple of days ago, or should I say nights ago, I suddenly craved chocolate balls, not as much to eat as to cook and present my efforts to the group.
It being middle if the night, I didn't have all the ingredients I usually cook with, so I altered the recipe to suit the ingredients I had... The result wasn't bad.
So this blog isn't just about my recipe, but the alternate recipe as well...
Beginning with the original recipe...
INGREDIENTS:
Marie Biscuits 10-15 nos.
Chocolate Sauce 2 and 1/2 tbsp
Cocoa Powder 1/2 tbsp
Melted Butter 1 and 1/2 tbsp
Gems 1 small packet
Melted Chocolate 3 -4 tbsp
PROCEDURE:
1. Grind Marie Biscuits into fine powder.
2. Add cocoa powder and mix till they are properly mixed.
3. Add melted butter and mix well.
4. Add chocolate sauce spoon by spoon and make into dough.
5. Form balls and refrigerate them for 20 to 30 minutes.
6. Once set, roll top half in melted chocolate and place a gem.
7. Refrigerate them for another 15 minutes.
8. Take out and transfer to serving platter and serve.
And here goes the alternate recipe...
INGREDIENTS:
Mc Vities Biscuits 10-15 nos.
Powdered Sugar 2 and 1/2 tbsp
Cocoa Powder 2 tbsp
Milk 1 and 1/2 tbsp
Gems 1 small packet
Nutella 3 -4 tbsp
PROCEDURE:
1. Grind Biscuits into fine powder.
2. Add cocoa powder and powdered sugar and mix till they are properly mixed.
3. Add milk spoon by spoon and make into dough.
4. Form balls and refrigerate them for 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Once set, roll top half in nutella and place a gem.
6. Refrigerate them for another 15 minutes.
7. Take out and transfer to serving platter and serve.
ADDITIONAL NOTEWORTHY POINTS:
1. Keep the balls refrigerated, so you can keep them for 5-6 days. Take them out 10-15 minutes prior to serving.
2. You can use different garnishing instead of gems.
3. You can dip the whole ball into chocolate.
4. If you prefer to have it plain, no need to roll on melted chocolate.
Cook with love...
