Ingredients

Liquid dark chocolate - 7.1 oz
20% Sour Cream - 5.3 oz
Butter - 0.9 oz
Cocoa Powder - 1.8 oz
Desiccated coconut - to taste
Rum - 2 tablespoons
Nuts - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Finely chop the chocolate in a bowl. Use high-quality chocolate with a high cocoa content.

Step 2

Over low heat, bring the mixture of sour cream, butter, and rum to a boil. As soon as the mixture shows signs of boiling, pour it into the bowl with the chopped chocolate.

Step 3

Stir/whip everything together and hide it in the refrigerator for a long time.

Step 4

After a few hours, when the mixture becomes firm enough, you can take it out and roll it into small balls.

Step 5

The balls can be rolled in crushed nuts, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or finely chopped ginger, coated in glaze, etc. You can also, like in a Raffaello, place a nut in the center. This yields a couple of dozen candies. After preparation, they should be stored in the refrigerator.
