The people with might and main began to celebrate the approach of the New Year. Well, or the end of 2020 (to be honest, I am also drawn to celebrate the end, but I'm afraid that 2021 will throw up which one is bigger).
Late yesterday evening, a company of such celebrants settled in the yard, turning on the music at full power in the battered "top ten" and opening the doors to heighten the effect. As a result, for a long time, everyone around had to listen to the chanson, wanting the company to freeze.
Well, come on, someone managed to scare the celebrating with the police, as a result the free concert was stopped, and now I have a title: sweetness into joy. True, I had to "explain for the zag", otherwise they will get it wrong ...
No, well, but what? Isn't sweetness a joy? Moreover, if the recipe is simple and at the same time atmospheric. This is either candy, or cookies without baking, or simply - a dessert. Everyone can name what he likes best.
In appearance, this dessert looks like a snowball. Round and white. It tastes... sweet, vanilla and I would even say warming. Quite warming. Anyway, this is a Christmas dessert from English-speaking countries.
There are a lot of options for it, I like this recipe.
We take:
- A glass of waffles crushed into crumbs (preferably without filling)
- A glass of ground or chopped nuts (for the most part, the taste will depend on which nuts you took)
- A glass of powdered sugar (+ more for rolling)
- A couple of spoons of cocoa
- A quarter glass of cognac, whiskey, bourbon, brandy - here to your taste (in the original - bourbon, but it does not suit everyone)
- One and a half tablespoons of honey (in the original - corn syrup, but since for some reason we don't have corn syrup in stores, I replaced it with honey and... maybe not authentic, but tasty)
- Vanillin, vanilla sugar, vanilla essence - in general, what vanilla is - to taste
How we cook:
We mix alcohol and honey so that the honey in it is completely dispersed. We also send vanilla there or whatever we have vanilla. Mix everything thoroughly.
Now we combine waffle crumbs, crushed nuts, powdered sugar and cocoa in a separate bowl.
And now we fill with a mixture of honey and vanilla alcohol and begin to knead for a long time and persistently. If it seems that everything is too dry - you can add a little honey, but... Some people add more alcohol (drunken snowballs will come out!).
After the dough has been kneaded, roll it into balls and roll in powdered sugar.
The snowballs are ready! Of course, you can shoot them from a window or into a window, but it is tastier to eat
Bon Appetit!
