🛒 Ingredients

5 servings

5
  • 1 cup (250 ml) whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon margarine or unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Chocolate sprinkles or shredded coconut for coating (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, margarine, and sugar in a medium saucepan until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Cook over low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon — constant movement is essential to prevent sticking and burning.

  3. 3

    After about 15 minutes, the mixture will thicken into a dense, fudge-like consistency that pulls away from the sides of the pan.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat and pour into a lightly greased dish. Allow to cool completely at room temperature before handling.

  5. 5

    Once cooled and firm, roll into small balls with lightly buttered hands and coat in sprinkles or shredded coconut if desired.

💡 Chef's Tip

Never stop stirring — it may feel like nothing is happening, but the texture transforms right around the 15-minute mark. For a gourmet touch, try rolling the bites in crushed pistachios or a pinch of sea salt flakes.
