Advice

A water bath is used for melting and dissolving delicate foods and ingredients or for frothy mixing (especially for preparing various sauces and creams). Place a heatproof container with the ingredients on top of another container with hot water and whisk the ingredients in the upper container until they thicken and froth. The water in the lower container should not boil vigorously! In the balls made from dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate, we can combine different ingredients. We can also prepare them by inserting a whole hazelnut, half a walnut kernel, or a piece of white chocolate into the balls.
