Chocolate coffee balls (optional)

Description

Chocolate coffee balls are small, elegant treats with an intense flavor: they combine a deep, slightly bitter cocoa note with a distinct coffee aroma, often surrounded by a shiny coating or a sprinkle of cocoa, nuts, or sugar. They can be crunchy on the inside or soft and melting, making them an attractive decorative and flavorful element in desserts. They are typically used as decorations for cakes, cookies, ice creams, mousses, and as an addition to coffee, ice creams, or portioned snacks. Nutritionally, they are calorie-dense products, containing sugars and fats, along with small amounts of protein and fiber; thanks to cocoa, they provide antioxidants and minerals such as magnesium, and due to coffee, a small dose of caffeine helps with stimulation when consumed in moderation. They should be stored in an airtight container, in a cool and dry place, away from direct light and moisture; if they contain cream or filling, it is best to keep them in the refrigerator and consume them within a few days.
