Chocolate Balls: Thermomix Recipe



If you want to prepare some tasty and elegant treats this recipe of Chocolate Balls is perfect for you. The preparation is very quick (even if you must keep the dough refrigerated for 12 hours), but their appearance is so good.

These are perfect to be offered for a buffet, they usually disappear in a flash...and the colourful sprinkles give a touch of beauty together with the pretty cake cases. They are mainly made by cocoa powder, mascarpone cheese, eggs and biscuits. I just need to read through the list to feel my mouth watering! Don't you?

This recipe has been suggested by Giusy di Marco an Italian follower who wrote from Ciampino. She adapted her mother's recipe for Thermomix. Oh yes, Thermomix links the past to the future and allows you to prepare your childhood's recipes in a moment...
