Speculoos Balls
A holiday treat that combines the spiced flavor of Gewürz-Spekulatius biscuits with creamy peanut butter, all wrapped in a rich layer of chocolate.
Ingredients
For the Balls
- 250 g Gewürz-Spekulatius biscuits Spiced biscuits for flavor
- 200 g peanut butter Can substitute with almond butter
- 1 zest organic orange Adds refreshing citrus note
- 5 g coconut fat Helps with chocolate melting
For the Coating
- 200 g dark chocolate Can be substituted with milk chocolate
- coarse sea salt For sprinkling on top
Instructions
Preparation
- Finely crush the Gewürz-Spekulatius using a food processor or stand mixer until they resemble fine crumbs.
- Add the peanut butter and the zest of one orange to the crushed biscuits. Knead everything together until it forms a sand-like dough.
- Take small portions of the dough (around 10 grams each) and roll them into small balls.
- Place the balls on a tray and refrigerate them for at least an hour to firm them up.
- After chilling, roll the balls again gently to make them round and smooth.
- Melt the dark chocolate and coconut fat together in a water bath, stirring until smooth and well combined.
- Use a praline fork to dip each ball into the chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place them on a cooling rack.
- Sprinkle with coarse sea salt before the chocolate sets.
- Let the balls dry completely, preferably overnight.
- Store the finished treats in small paper cups in an airtight container in a cool place.
Notes
These treats can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks. If in a warm climate, refrigerate to maintain their shape.
