Hello everyone 🤗 Today, I made a dessert that I haven't made in a very long time, but I still crave its flavor and texture: Chewy Cocoa Balls. This dessert offers a complex and delightful experience. It has a chewy and smooth texture, not sticky or tough, but a gentle, soft chewiness in the dessert's body. As you bite into it, you can still feel the smooth tenderness from the ingredients I used.
This delicious snack is suitable for many occasions. It makes a perfect afternoon treat, paired wonderfully with tea or coffee whether hot or iced. The bitterness of the cocoa and the coffee complement each other excellently. It also works well as a dessert after a meal, as its compact size makes it light and easy to enjoy, while the rich cocoa flavor refreshes the palate. Additionally, it’s an ideal choice for serving at parties as a delightful bite-sized dessert.
The preparation is simple, and anyone can make it. If you're someone who loves cocoa or chocolate-flavored desserts, take a look at the following steps.
Ingredients
- 50 grams of cocoa powder
- 20 grams of cornstarch
- 250 ml of fresh milk
- 80 grams of granulated sugar (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 20 grams of unsalted butter
- Cocoa powder for coating
Instructions
Making the Chewy Cocoa Balls 🏈
- In a pot, mix the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and granulated sugar together.
- Gradually add the fresh milk, stirring until the ingredients are fully dissolved and combined.
- Place the pot on the stove over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, becomes sticky, and pulls away from the sides of the pot. Then turn off the heat.
- Add the unsalted butter and mix until well incorporated.
- Let it cool until it's manageable enough to shape. Shape the mixture into round balls.
- Coat the balls thoroughly with cocoa powder and place them on parchment paper.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set. You'll get chewy cocoa balls with a delightful, satisfying texture. Enjoy
The rich cocoa flavor takes center stage, with the aroma and slight bitterness of the cocoa powder shining through. The taste is not overly sweet, as the bitterness of the cocoa perfectly balances the richness of the butter and milk.
The sweetness level is just right and can be adjusted to your preference. The sugar enhances the cocoa's flavor, making it pleasantly sweet without overpowering its deep, rich bitterness.
There’s a delightful buttery fragrance, as the unsalted butter added at the end not only enriches the dessert’s texture, making it softer and more well-rounded, but also imparts a lovely buttery aroma.
The cocoa powder used for coating not only prevents the dessert from sticking to your hands but also adds a subtle bitterness at first taste, which then transitions into the sweetness and chewiness of the interior. This creates a perfect interplay of flavors and textures.
