For 9 portions

Ingredients

150 ml good-quality eggnog liqueur
220 g white chocolate
80 g butter
100 g crushed sponge biscuits or cookies
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
a pinch of salt

for coating: coconut, cocoa, ground nuts or sugar pearls

Preparation procedure

Break the white chocolate into pieces and melt it together with the butter in a water bath. Stir until a smooth mixture forms.
Add the eggnog liqueur, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt, then mix everything well.
Fold in the crushed sponge biscuits or cookies until you get a soft but moldable dough.
Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes to firm up.
Then shape into small balls and coat as desired – in coconut, cocoa, nuts or sugar decorations.
Store the finished balls in a closed container in the fridge. They taste best after 2–3 days, when the flavors have nicely melded.

Tip: For adult versions you can add a little rum or almond liqueur. If you want a more pronounced flavor, replace the white chocolate with dark chocolate.
