Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (375 milliliters) crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) cocoa powder
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) shredded coconut
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) crushed nuts
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) milk
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Coating:
- Sprinkles or cocoa powder for rolling
Instructions
- Create a foundation for the chocolate delights by blending graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder in a spacious mixing vessel. Ensure thorough integration of these dry components.
- Introduce melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract into the powdery mixture. Gently fold and knead until a cohesive, pliable dough emerges with a consistent texture.
- Utilizing clean palms, extract small portions of the dough and delicately roll into uniform spherical shapes. Maintain consistent sizing for even chilling and aesthetic appeal.
- Prepare coating stations with shredded coconut, finely ground nuts, colorful sprinkles, or additional cocoa powder. Tenderly enrobe each chocolate sphere, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Arrange the freshly coated orbs on a parchment-lined tray, allowing sufficient space between each to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the tray to the refrigerator, permitting the chocolate balls to solidify and develop enhanced flavor complexity for approximately 60 minutes.
- Once chilled and firm, serve immediately or preserve in a sealed container within the refrigerator. These delectable treats will maintain optimal quality for approximately one week.
Notes
- Opt for gluten-free graham crackers to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor and create a more complex taste profile.
- Experiment with different coatings like crushed Oreos, powdered sugar, or melted chocolate for a variety of textures and flavors.
- Freeze the chocolate balls for a chilled treat that offers a firmer, more intense chocolate experience.
