MOCHA BUTTER BALLS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In bowl of a standing electric mixer beat together all ingredients except confectioners' sugar until just combined well. Form dough into 1-inch balls and arrange about 3/4 inch apart on baking sheets.
- Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until just firm and beginning to brown, about 18 minutes, and cool on baking sheets 5 minutes.
- Sift confectioners' sugar into a bowl. After the 5 minutes cooling, toss balls, a few at a time, in confectioners' sugar, coating them well and transferring them as coated to trays to cool completely. (Before balls are stored or frozen, they can be coated lightly again in confectioners' sugar to keep them from sticking to each other.) Cookies may be stored between layers of wax paper in airtight containers up to 6 weeks frozen.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to create a smooth and creamy filling.
- If you don't have a cake pop maker, you can use a mini muffin pan to bake the cake balls. Just fill each muffin cup about 1/3 full and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake balls cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help to prevent the chocolate from cracking.
- If you want to make the cake balls ahead of time, you can freeze them for up to 2 weeks. Just thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before dipping them in chocolate.
Conclusion:
Mocha cake balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover cake. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these decadent cake balls that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
