In a large mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese, egg yolks, sugar, and flour. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform. The consistency should be thick and cohesive.
2. Important Resting Period:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for 12 hours. This step is essential as it allows the mixture to stabilize and develop a firmer texture, which helps when shaping the balls and enhances the flavor profile.
3. Shaping the Balls:
After 12 hours, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Scoop out portions of approximately 90 g each and shape them into smooth balls using your hands. If the mixture feels a bit sticky, lightly dust your hands with flour to make handling easier.
4. Prepare the Chocolate:
Melt the milk chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval to avoid burning. The chocolate should be smooth and glossy.
5. Bake the Balls:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking tray, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
Bake for 6 minutes. The balls should be lightly golden but not overly brown.
