AFTER EIGHT BALLS: peppermint chocolate balls

These fudgy, creamy After-Eight Balls are a must for every chocolate lover! And you just need 3 ingredients: heavy cream, dark chocolate and mint leaves for the extra flavor. So it's a must to use unsprayed, organic mint. The little balls are also perfect as a gift and you can easily store them for 1 week in your fridge.
Before we get started an important tip for all the people who are going to be using cups to measure the ingredients. Please take 1/4 cup of heavy cream and remove 1 tablespoon before you use it, so you have the most perfect result ever! This is just because 50g heavy cream isn't exactly 1/4 cup and to prevent any troubles I would recommend doing that.
Have fun :) 

 


Recipe

Ingredients:
  • 2/3 cups dark chocolate (100g)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (50g)
  • 10 organic mint leaves

Instructions:
  1. Fill the heavy cream into a pot and add the washed mint leaves. Now bring it to boil.
  2. Chop the chocolate and add it to the heavy cream, stir until the chocolate melted completely.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a bowl and let it cool for about one hour until you get a thick and creamy consistency. 
  4. With a teaspoon, measure identical big portions out of the chocolate-cream and roll them into balls.
  5. Roll your balls in cocoa powder if you want. Make sure to use an unsweetened one.
  6. Put the balls into the fridge for another 10-15 minutes before you eat them.
  7. Enjoy!

Do you want to learn how I create a short-form food video from start to finish?

I've been sharing my baking creations for more than five years on my Instagram Account @tamarasbakings . It all started with pictures but slowly, I transitioned into short-form videos, aka Reels. In the beginning, I made them very detailed and experimented with different settings in my home, various backdrops and camera angles, editing techniques, etc. but over time I created an effective way to film my Reels and now I am sharing multiple ones per month. Since I have the best followers in the world, I often get comments on how nice my editing is or how beautifully filmed my videos are. And I do pay close attention to the little details, like props and decor items, camera angles, and creating interest, so people genuinely want to watch my videos.

Cinnamon Rolls - perfect for fall baking

When I think of fall baking and the cozy season, I immediately think about cinnamon rolls, as well. There's just something so comforting about a soft, fluffy, and sweet cinnamon roll together with a cup of your fav fall drink. So today, I am sharing my favorite cinnamon recipe with you. I've always been using this exact recipe and I can confidently say that my whole family and friends love it! The yeast dough - things to keep in mind The most important thing about a good and fluffy cinnamon roll is, of course, the yeast dough- but how can you ensure it gets fluffy and perfect? First of all, I always use fresh yeast. In my opinion, this gives you the best results. In order to make sure the yeast can do its job properly, the temperature of the milk (and butter mixture) is key! If your mixture is too hot or too cold, you won't get a good yeast dough, it won't rise and your cinnamon rolls will be dry and flat. I always think of a hot bathtub when I heat my milk. Imagine you...
