Snowballs
Ingredients
- 300g white chocolate (buy good quality or the sweets can be a bit, well, sweet)
- 300g Madeira cake
- 50g unsalted butter
- 125g desiccated coconut
If you fancy making some home made sweet treats for Christmas (or anytime), these snowballs are delicious and so easy.
I made these one day; next day made the same but with dark chocolate instead of white. Planning more variations with additions of alcohol, soaked fruit etc. I thought rum and raisin might be nice - or Cointreau and maybe an orange flavoured chocolate. Who knows? :-)
Instructions
-
Melt the butter and half the chocolate in a basin over simmering water.
-
Blitz the Madeira cake to crumbs in a food processor (or chop finely with a knife).
-
When the butter and chocolate are melted, add the cake crumbs and mix thoroughly..
-
When the mixture is cool enough to handle, take a teaspoonful and form into a ball; put it on a tray lined with greaseproof paper. Repeat until you have used all the mixture. Chill for an hour.
-
Melt the rest of the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water.
-
Dip each sweet in the melted chocolate, allow excess to drain off, then roll it in the dessicated coconut. Chill for a further hour.
Keeps for a week in the fridge (yeah, right!).
