Popcorn Balls

Sometimes things just work. Random leftovers come together and bam, you've got a star dish! Well that's what happened these balls. I had random leftover popcorn, I had some cream in the fridge. I also had made some (runny) popcorn ganache that I didn't end up using as a filling for macarons. So what on earth do you do with popcorn ganache? Well should you end up in this predicament, I suggest you make these!



Popcorn Balls

300ml cream
1/4 packet microwave butter popcorn, popped
1/4 packet microwave butter popcorn, popped and finely blended.
300g white chocolate buttons (use double the quantity for a thick ganache)
1 packet milk arrowroot biscuits
1/4 tsp salt flakes

Popcorn Ganache

1. Place the whole popcorn kernels and the cream in a container and refrigerate overnight.
2. Push the cream and popcorn mixture through a fine sieve into a saucepan.
3. Heat the cream on a low heat until it just reaches a boil.
4. Add in the chocolate buttons and stir until melted and incorporated, set aside to cool and thicken.

Popcorn Balls

1. Place the biscuits in a Thermomix or food processor and process until fine crumbs.
2. Add the chocolate mixture and half of the blended popcorn and pulse to combine.
3. Form into balls and roll in the remainder of the blended popcorn.
4. Enjoy!
