In the evening Germania, I and the TVs Ninni, Theodore and Big Bird  helped my mentor  to make snowballs. We did not make them outside but in the kitchen.

My mentor Katja had promised her sister-in-law to bake a cake for her. She was celebrating her birthday a few days ago and will need two cakes tomorrow to celebrate her birthday at her working place in a elementary school.

So Katja decided to bake snowballs.

But how can you bake snowballs?

First you have to bake a sponge cake, or you can buy one.

Then you prepare a cream containing curd cheese, creme fraiche, whipped cream, some sugar and amaretto. Here are the ingredients:

250 g curd cheese
150 g creme fraiche
125 ml amaretto
50 g sugar
1 package vanilla sugar
400 ml whipped cream
2 packets Sahnesteif (a white powder which keeps the whipped creme tight)
200 g desiccated coconut




First you mix curd cheese, creme fraiche, sugar and amaretto. Then you have to make whipped cream and stir it to the other ingredients.



Now you have to rip the sponge cake into small pieces. Put the crumbs into the prepared cream and mingle both.





Put the desiccated coconut into a larger box. Then you have to form little balls with wet hands and to roll them into coconut.



We put the snowballs into paper muffin cups. Ready!



They are delicious!

I'm already anxious if I will bake cakes with my future hosts!
