White Russian spheres

Ingredients

Method

  1. Blend all the ingredients for 1 minute. Pass the liquid through a fine sieve to remove as many air bubbles as possible.
  2. You can form the spheres using two techniques: with or without freezing.

Freezing method

  1. Freeze the White Russian mixture in the small hemisphere moulds.
  2. Heat the sodium alginate bath, prepared according to the corresponding recipe, to 50°C.
  3. Immerse a few frozen hemispheres at a time in the alginate bath and move them gently for 1 minute. Remove and rinse in cold water.

Method without freezing

  1. Pour small spoonfuls of the mixture into the sodium alginate bath. Leave to react for approximately 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and rinse in cold water.
