  TM 5
  
  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.
  
  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Recipe's preparation

Place almonds into "Closed lid" and mill for 10 sec / speed 9

Add remaining ingredients and blitz for 20 sec / spped 7

Roll tablespoon amounts into truffles by first squeezing in your hand to compact, then forming a ball by rolling between palms.

Roll truffles in extra cacao or extra dessicated coconut.

My favourite truffle covering is a mix made from seeds. Equal parts: petita, sunflower, sesame and linseed ground together.

Tip

Dandelion has great nutritional qualities, known for its goodness for the liver.

These truffles can be nut-free if the almonds are replaced with seeds (I like sunflower and pepitas together).
