Help with baileys yule balls

greenpixey

I made these yesterday and are having some problems with it. I read the recipe wrong and now I don't know what to do with the mix

1/4 cup baileys (but I put a whole cup 229g in:eek:)
1tbsp butter
12oz chocolate pieces
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup cream

melt chocolate, baileys and cream on low heat. Whisk in yolks one at a time...mixture will thicken. Whisk in butter. put in fridge for several hours or overnight until firm. make small balls with a teaspoon roll in powdered sugar or cocoa.

Obviously it wouldn't thicken for me and I tried to roll it in to balls. I just get funny shaped blobs.
Can I use the mixture for anything. I can't eat it the way it is.

Sounds like the perfect icecream topping for someone who likes Bailey's. Or you could fold in some whipped cream and/or custard and freeze to make a chocolate Bailey's ice cream

I am not sure, could you pour it over ice cream ?

Thanks for the recipe though, might have a go tomorrow.

I would try adding more choccy to make it less runny

I would need to add 36oz of chocolate to get it to the right consistency...don't have that much chocolate at home (I wish I did )

What about some coconut? That should make them a bit firmer.

Do you have any cake or plain biscuits? You could crumble them and mix with the runny mixture to make balls, or just spread out in a cake tin and chill. Maybe add some dried fruit and nuts too.

I would be tempted to try swirling some of it into a cake mmm yummy! The icecream idea sounds fab too!

I made chocolate truffles yesterday and one of its ingredients were icing sugar, if you added icing sugar until it was firm enough to make into balls, i think you would find that wouldnt spoil the flavour, and it would set in the fridge firm.
let us know how you got on!
