Chocolate Balls כדורי שוקולד

These particular chocolate balls are made with crushed tea biscuits called petit beurre which are crisp cookies made with butter. What i like to do, is put the biscuits inside a big sealed plastic bag and crush them with the help of a rolling pin. I crush them till they reach to the approximate size of a grain of rice. Once i actually make the balls, i found it helpful to keep my hands wet. the wet hands prevent the mixture from sticking to my fingers making the chocolate balls smoother. after couple of hours i had my chocolate balls all lined up, pretty and ready to be eaten.

INGREDIENTS:

• 7 ounce (200 gram) petit beurre biscuits
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup cacao powder
• 2/3 cup milk
• 7 ounce (200 gram) butter at room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup coconut flakes

PREPARATION:

• place biscuits inside a big sealed plastic bag and crush them with the help of a rolling pin. crush them till they reach to the approximate size of a grain of rice. transfer into a medium bowl.
• mix together with the sugar and cacao powder. stir in milk, butter and vanilla extract until well blended.
• in flat plate put coconut flakes.
• form the mixture into 1 inch balls by rolling in your hands, or by using a cookie scoop. cover with coconut flakes and place on wax paper.
