Chocolate Balls

Finely chop the chocolate and melt it in a warm bain-marie, stirring.

Beat the butter and raw sugar in a mixing bowl with the whisk attachments of a hand mixer until fluffy.

Stir in the egg and vanilla sugar, then briefly fold in the melted chocolate.

Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and a pinch of salt, sift them over the bowl and briefly stir in together with the whole milk.

Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for about 60 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 160°C fan (180°C conventional) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Scoop small portions of dough, shape them into roughly 2 cm balls and roll them in powdered sugar.

Place the balls on the sheet with some space between them.

Bake the chocolate balls for about 15 minutes.

Let the chocolate balls cool on a wire rack.
