      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 190C.

  2. Add raw sugar. Pulverise 10 sec/speed 10. 

  3. Add almonds and pistachios. Chop for 30 sec/speed 9. 

  4. Add vanilla and 1 egg white. Mix 15 sec/speed 5 to a smooth paste. If the mixture is too dry, add half the remaining egg white, but make sure the mixture doesn't become too sticky.  

  5. Roll the paste into balls the size of a walnut, then roll into icing sugar to cover completely. Place on baking mat/paper and press down lightly with fingers to flatten slightly. 

  6. Bake for 10-12 mins at 190C. They will split during baking and stay soft in the middle. Do not be tempted to cook for longer as they will harden as they cool down.

Tip

You can use almonds only if you don't have pistachios. You can also add some cocoa powder to the paste before rolling into balls.
