06 - Arrange coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes until fully set. Serve chilled and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • No oven required, making them perfect for hot summer days or when your kitchen is already overrun with other projects
  • They come together in fifteen minutes flat but taste like something you fussed over for hours
02 -
  • The mixture needs that full hour of chilling time or the balls will sag and lose their shape
  • Room temperature ingredients make mixing easier so let everything sit out for ten minutes before starting
03 -
  • Lightly coat your hands with a tiny bit of butter when rolling to prevent sticking
  • Use a small cookie scoop for uniform portions that look bakery perfect
