Questions about Chocolate ball
How do you make chocolate balls at home?
For cake-crumb balls, crumble leftover sponge and mix in just enough buttercream or ganache to make it hold together. Roll into small balls, chill for 20–30 minutes, then dip in melted chocolate or roll in cocoa.
How do you stop chocolate balls cracking when you dip them?
Don’t dip them straight from the freezer or when they’re very cold. Let chilled balls stand for 5–10 minutes first, and use melted chocolate that’s warm rather than hot.
Do chocolate balls need to be kept in the fridge?
Keep balls made with cream or cream cheese covered in the fridge. Plain chocolate-coated biscuit or cereal balls can go in an airtight tin in a cool, dry cupboard.
Can you freeze chocolate balls?
Yes. Freeze them in a single layer until firm, then transfer to an airtight container; thaw them in the fridge before serving.
What do you serve with chocolate balls?
They go well with tea or coffee after a meal. For a dessert platter, serve them with strawberries or raspberries to balance the sweetness.
Are chocolate balls less energy-dense than chocolate truffles?
Chocolate truffles have 601 kcal per 100 g, compared with 454 kcal per 100 g for chocolate balls.
