1. Can I use low-fat cottage cheese? Yes, low-fat cottage cheese can be used, but the texture may be slightly less rich and creamy. Full-fat cottage cheese is recommended for the best results.
2. How do I store the bliss balls? Store the chocolate-coated balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months; just thaw them in the fridge before serving.
3. Can I use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate? Absolutely! Dark chocolate will add a richer, more intense flavor. Adjust the sugar content in the batter if you prefer a less sweet result.
4. Is the 12-hour resting period necessary? Yes, the 12-hour rest is crucial for allowing the mixture to stabilize, which improves both the texture and the ease of forming the balls.
Tips for Making
Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature when mixing to help blend more smoothly with the cottage cheese.
Blending Option: For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese in a food processor before mixing it with the other ingredients.
Flavor Variations: Add a touch of lemon zest or a teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the batter.
Chocolate Drizzle: For an extra decorative touch, drizzle white chocolate over the milk chocolate-coated balls once they have set.
Storage Tips
Short-Term Storage: Keep the bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They taste best when consumed within 2-3 days, as this is when the flavor and texture are at their peak.
Long-Term Storage: For longer storage, freeze the balls in a freezer-safe container. Place parchment paper between the layers to prevent sticking. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
