The perfect treat to make for yourself or your friends for their birthdays. All you need is a bowl and spoon and a hand grater. No oven required. I made these last year for my son’s aufruf and everyone loved them. I stashed away a few in the freezer (they taste awesome straight from the freezer, especially with a coffee or hot cocoa!) and was so grateful to find them a few days later. I came home from my son’s wedding starving, and at two in the morning, these were just what I needed! Thanks, HDG.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 8-10 ounces (250 gram) quark cheese, 5%

  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) butter, melted

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • juice of 1/2 a lemon

Directions

Prepare Cheese Balls

1.

Mix all ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl until well combined.

2.

Form into small balls and place on a plate.

3.

Roll in grated chocolate and place in a container.

4.

Store in freezer until ready to use.  

Tips:

You can use a lower or higher fat quark cheese — ½%, 3%, or 9%. Also, if you don’t have a food processor to make crumbs, put the biscuits in a bag and pound with a chicken cutlet hammer.

Notes:

To achieve the look in the picture, grate 3 large squares each of white, milk, and dark chocolate and place in 3 small plates. Roll balls in the chocolate and freeze each color separately. (You can nosh the leftover grated chocolate!) Put them in a box, tie with a ribbon, and present to your roommate. She will be your bff!

Question Hi! I am not sure what I did wrong but the consistency was so so sticky that I had to add lots more crumbs to be able to form balls. How do you recommended serving them-straight from the freezer or does it need to thaw? The batter tasted yum and I look forward to serving them on Shavous!
