Method:
- Chop cooking chocolate coarsely and transfer it to a heat proof bowl placed over a sauce pan of simmering water.Melt it until creamy and saucy as shown below(I melted more chocolate than the quantity required so dont get confused whether its 1 tbsp :O).Cool down to room temperature.Crumble the cake.
- In a mixing bowl - add crumbled cake,melted butter,coco powder,icing sugar,mix well.Then add chocolate sauce and form smooth dough.Chill the batter for 30mins. Then pinch small lemon sized balls and roll them to smooth balls.
- I used color cprinkles,coco powder,chocolate semiya and powdered pistachio for topping.Roll the balls in the topping of your choice.Chill it for an hr then serve.
The cake balls are delicious with a melt in the mouth texture.....Perfect for kids! See you all soon with more interesting recipes...tata cya for now :)
My Notes:
- Chilling overnight is best before shaping as it holds the shape well.
- Make sure your mixer is dry while grinding the nuts.I missed to check the mixie and it was wet hence the nuts was not completely dry as you can see.
- Be creative and use your favorite topping...You can use icing sugar,powdered mixed nuts etc.
- You can even coat the balls in melted chocolate sauce made,drizzle with white chocolate and refrigerate it until the chocolate is set.
- Keeps well for 3 days under refrigeration , depends on the freshness of the cake too.
- You can also use ready made chocolate sauce instead of melted cooking chocolate
- If the cake is very dry then you may require little more butter and chocolate sauce to bind it together as a dough. My cake was very moist so have given the measure accordingly.
- Dont let the cake balls in room temperature for more time as the topping might become moist.
- You can even use readymade chocolate cake and skip cooc powder and chocolate sauce.
- You can even add 1/2 cup powdered biscuit(digestive biscuits).
