Ingredients
Bolas de brownie
- 5 g
Cobertura de chocolate
- 5 g
Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 490 g before cooking, which is about 60 g per serving.
Steps
Place the cottage cheese, peanut butter, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
Add the almond flour and cocoa powder. Mix until you obtain a thick dough with a consistency similar to brownie batter.
Divide the dough into eight portions and shape each portion into a compact ball with your hands. If the dough is too soft, chill it for a few minutes before shaping.
Place the balls in the freezer for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the coating; this brief chilling helps them maintain their shape when coated.
Chop the chocolate and melt it with the coconut oil over a double boiler or in the microwave in short intervals, stirring between each interval. Continue until smooth and silky, taking care not to overheat it.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, turning it to coat completely. Let it drain for a few moments, then place it on parchment paper or a nonstick surface.
Sprinkle a small amount of sea salt over the coating of each ball before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate the balls for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely firm and crisp.
Serve chilled or slightly tempered. The center should remain soft with a brownie-like texture, while the coating provides a crisp contrast.
