For the Base:
- 14 ounces of cocoa wafers
- 4.2 ounces of butter
- 5.3 ounces of dark chocolate
For the Filling:
- 7 ounces of Kinder-inspired creamy spread
For the Coating:
- 8.8 ounces of milk chocolate
- 3 tablespoons of oil
Preparation Steps:
- Base Preparation: Crush the cocoa wafers into small crumbs, then melt the butter and dark chocolate together in the microwave in short intervals. In a large bowl, mix these ingredients until you achieve a uniform dough.
- Filling Setup: Fill a piping bag with the Kinder-inspired spread.
- Assembly: Lay a double layer of plastic wrap on your work surface. Take a piece of the waffle mixture and place it on the wrap, slightly flatten with your hands and form a circle. Remove the excess waffle mixture, and pipe a dollop of the Kinder-inspired spread onto the circle. Cover with another layer of the waffle mixture, sealing the edges tightly. Use the plastic wrap to form a perfect, filled circle. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Freezing: Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 20 minutes.
- Coating: Melt the milk chocolate and oil together in the microwave until smooth. Dip each ball into the chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set. Enjoy these indulgent cocoa and Kinder-inspired chocolate balls, a perfect blend of crunchy, creamy, and chocolaty in every bite!
