Tips and Tricks
- The most common error with this recipe is too much milk. I would recommend adding 20 ml of the milk, mixing, add 5 ml, mixing, and then repeat until these form the correct texture. If you add too much, the batter will be wet and won’t form into balls. If that happens, don’t worry. Just take your batter and press into a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. That way after the chilling, you can pull them out of the freezer and cut them into bite sized chunks. They will taste the exact same but they just wont be as pretty.
- It might be worth it to make a double batch because from personal experience, they disappear in a few days. They go even faster if you share them with other people.
