Ingredients:
-
Dark chocolate 🍫 (or any chocolate you love)
-
Whipping cream 🥛
-
Butter 🧈
-
Crushed or ground almonds 🌰 (you can use other nuts if you prefer)
For coating (optional):
-
Cocoa powder 🍫
-
Shredded coconut 🥥
-
Crushed pistachios 💚
-
Colored sugar ✨
Preparation:
-
Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
-
In a small saucepan, gently heat the whipping cream and butter over medium heat until hot (avoid boiling too hard).
-
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes so the chocolate melts naturally.
-
Stir slowly until the mixture becomes smooth, shiny, and well combined.
-
Add the crushed almonds and mix until evenly distributed.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the surface of the chocolate, then refrigerate for about 2 hours until firm enough to shape.
-
Scoop small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands.
-
Roll the balls in cocoa powder, coconut, pistachios, or colored sugar—or leave some plain if you like.
Arrange the chocolate balls on a plate and serve them chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and enjoy whenever a chocolate craving hits 🍫✨
