Žerbo balls with nuts, jam, and chocolate glaze are no-bake treats inspired by žerbo, a layered nut-and-apricot-jam bar. The dough is made by mixing cookie crumbs, ground nuts, and apricot jam, then shaped into balls and refrigerated for at least an hour. The balls are then dipped with a fork or wooden skewer into a hot glaze made by briefly boiling butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk, coating them completely. Serve them on a Christmas cookie platter or as a sweet treat with coffee.
Ingredients
For the coating
Tick off what you already have at home. Send the rest as a shopping list.
Instructions
Mix the dough ingredients together, shape into balls, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Place the glaze ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Using a fork or wooden skewer, dip the balls into the glaze while it is still hot.
Tip: Place the coated balls on a wire rack with a plate underneath to catch the excess glaze and prevent a pool of chocolate from forming around the base.
