INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Chocolate Balls
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, adding butter in smaller pieces. Choose either coffee or water based on your taste preference. Mix with an electric mixer until the ingredients come together into a sticky dough. Roll the dough into balls and coat each with shredded coconut. Place in the fridge to set.
Step 2: Mud Cake
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Melt butter and chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Line a 20 cm springform pan with parchment paper and grease it. Pour in the batter and bake for about 15-20 minutes until the center is still slightly gooey. Let cool.
Step 3: Chocolate Filling
Melt chocolate with cream over a double boiler for smooth melting. Let cool slightly.
Step 4: Assembling the Chocolate Ball Mud CakE
Spread the chocolate filling evenly over the cooled mud cake. Arrange the chocolate balls on top before the filling sets, then drizzle additional melted chocolate over the balls for an extra touch.
Voilà! You have a rich, chocolatey dessert with a twist – a chocolate ball mud cake without added sugar. Perfect to enjoy with a cup of coffee.
