Ingredients
- 200 g sponge cake Ready-made or homemade
- 150 g dark chocolate
- 50 g milk chocolate
- 50 g icing sugar
- Sprinkles or crushed nuts For decoration, optional
Instructions
- Crumble the sponge cake into fine crumbs in a mixing bowl.
- Add the icing sugar to the cake crumbs and mix until well combined.
- Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, break the dark chocolate and milk chocolate into small pieces.
- Melt the chocolate by placing it over a pan of simmering water (double boiler). Stir until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Using a fork or a skewer, dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's completely coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Place the chocolate-covered cake balls back on the parchment paper.
- If desired, sprinkle the cake balls with your choice of decorations, such as sprinkles or crushed nuts, while the chocolate is still wet.
- Allow the chocolate-covered cake balls to cool and set for a few minutes.
- Place the cake balls in the refrigerator for about an hour to firm up.
- Once the chocolate is fully set, your chocolate-covered cake balls are ready to enjoy.
