Methods
1. Prepare your Ingredients
Before diving into the recipe, make sure all ingredients are measured and ready to use. When everything is prepared, the cooking process becomes streamlined and a breeze.
2. Mix the Ingredients
In a saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons of whipping cream, 35 grams of caster sugar, and 150 grams of unsalted butter. Heat gently until the butter melts, being careful not to overheat the cream. Once the butter has melted, add 150 grams of milk chocolate and whisk until smooth. Then stir in 150 grams of ground walnuts, 150 grams ground digestive biscuits, and 1 teaspoon rum (if desired) until you have a uniform mixture.
3. Chill the Mixture
Cover the mixture with cling film and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes. As it cools, the mixture will firm up and become easier to form into balls.
4. Shape the Chocolate Balls
Once cooled, line a baking tray or plate with baking parchment. Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, spread small scoops of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared surface. If you don’t have an ice cream scoop, you can also shape the balls with your hands. Let the balls cool for another 30 minutes.
5. Dip in Chocolate
While the balls are cooling, melt the milk chocolate and white chocolate separately with coconut oil. Choose a deeper bowl if available, as the depth makes it easier to scoop the melted chocolate.
Using a butter knife or spatula, dip each chocolate ball into the melted chocolate, drain excess chocolate, then place them back on the baking parchment. Using another butter knife, slide the cookie onto the baking parchment without touching it too much.
For even more flavour, sprinkle toppings over the balls before the chocolate sets.
6. Let Them Cool
Allow the Chocolate Walnut Balls to cool until the chocolate hardens, then indulge in these irresistible treats!
7. Serve and Enjoy
Once cooled and set, serve these chocolate walnut balls on a decorative platter or package them up as delightful gifts for friends and family. They’re perfect for parties, holidays, or any time you’re craving a sweet treat.
