Dessert Bar Recipes

As promised, I’m back to tell you more about how I put together all of the dessert bar food!

Chocolate Balls

These originated from a recipe by my Mum, from a friend, from her Mum, from a website. It has morphed and changed over the “passing down” but are really tasty! It reminds me of that spinach and sour cream dip with the bread that you can’t stop eating, that makes you sick when you eat too much, but you keep going back for more. The actual recipe is for rum balls, but we decided to leave the rum out and now I think they are even yummier.

Ingredients

  • 250g milk arrowroot biscuits
  • 1 cup desicated coconut
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa
  • 1 x 400g can sweetened condensed milk

Method

  1. Crush biscuits finely (no chunks! if you have a food processor use that).
  2. Add the coconut and cocoa and mix through.
  3. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk.
  4. Form into slightly larger than “bite-size” balls. You can then either roll them in more coconut, cocoa or sprinkles to finish them off!

They are almost like truffles except a little lighter on the chocolate and the cream. I suppose though condensed milk wouldn’t balance it out though, would it? ;)
