Ingredients Préparation Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 397 g
  • 20 g unsweetened cocoa powder 2 heaped tbsp
  • 15 g butter + a little for your hands
  • 80 g chocolate sprinkles

Préparation
 

  1. Pour the condensed milk into a heavy-based saucepan, add the sifted cocoa and the butter. Stir off the heat until the cocoa has fully dissolved.
  2. Cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring constantly with a spatula and scraping the bottom well.
  3. Stop cooking when the mixture thickens, comes away from the bottom of the pan and slides in one piece when you tilt the pan.
  4. Pour the mixture onto a buttered plate and leave to cool for 1 hour at room temperature, or 30 minutes in the fridge.
  5. Butter your hands and roll about 25 balls of 15 g, the size of a walnut.
  6. Roll each ball in the chocolate sprinkles and place it in a paper case. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

The right cooking point is reached when the mixture comes away from the bottom of the pan and a line drawn with the spatula takes a few seconds to close. Lightly butter your hands to roll the balls.
