Preparation

  2. Scoop small spoonfuls and roll into balls, then flatten slightly to form patties about 1 inch across.
  3. Place patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 30 minutes until firm.
Coating

  3. Chill the patties for 10–20 minutes until the chocolate firms.
Serving
