Chocolate Balls are delicious desserts made with dark chocolate and amaretto. They are easy to prepare and perfect to serve as a dessert or to accompany coffee. This recipe is typical of Italian cuisine and can be a great idea for a tasty gift.
Chop the chocolate, place it in a small saucepan, and melt it in a double boiler
In a bowl, beat the two egg yolks with the sugar until you obtain a fluffy and white mixture; then gradually incorporate the chocolate while continuously beating with a small whisk or a wooden spoon
Finely crumble four amaretti and add them along with a pinch of salt and 30 g of liqueur
Cover the container with plastic wrap and refrigerate for half an hour (or even longer)
Powder the remaining amaretti
With the now cold mixture, form balls slightly larger than a walnut; roll them in the amaretti powder and place each in a white paper cup, arranging them on a dessert plate or suitable tray as they are ready
Before serving, return the balls to the refrigerator
They are exquisite and can be served after dinner with liqueurs
