Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cream Filling
  • 1 cup heavy cream Use cold for better whipping
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules Choose Halal-certified if needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Coating
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder

Method
 

Preparation of Cream Mixture
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the cream until it reaches soft peaks, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 15 minutes.
Forming the Balls
  1. After chilling, remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) from the cream mixture. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Pop the baking sheet into the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Coating the Balls
  1. In a separate bowl, combine the chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each until smooth.
  2. Dip each cream ball into the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip off, then roll them in the cocoa powder to coat.
Final Steps
  1. Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined sheet and return them to the refrigerator for another 15-30 minutes to set.
  2. Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy!

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use almond milk or coconut cream instead of heavy cream. Ensure cream is cold for better whipping.
