      Recipe is created for
      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.

Recipe's preparation

  1.  Place dried fruit mixture into bowl Closed lid and chop for 5 seconds on Speed 7. If you prefer it finer, chop some more!

     

     

  2.  Set fruit aside and soak in liquer of your choice for a few hours or overnight

     

  3.  While fruit is soaking - prepare Torta caprese from EDC or BC. This is a good choice as the truffles will be GF. Alternatively use a chocolate mud cake recipe.

     

  4.  Put 150g dark chocolate into bowl - melt 2min, 60 degrees, Speed 1

     

  5. Add soaked fruit and cake - 15 sec, speed 4 to mix. Use spatula to spread this mixture onto a tray and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes to cool down

     

  6.  Use a teaspoon quantity to make balls - roll using your hands. You may need to wash your hands a couple of times as the mixture is quite sticky.

    place balls back into the fridge to firm up again 

     

  7.  Melt 200g dark chocolate and coconut oil in bowl for 2 minutes 60 degrees, speed 1.5

     

  8.  Dip truffle balls into dark choclate and back into fridge to set

     

  9.  Melt white chocolate 2 minutes, 60 degrees, speed 1.5 - pour into a small plastic ziplock bag and snip a TINY hole in the corner - use this to pipe your white choc on top of your truffles

     

  10.  Decorate with red and green "holly" and store in the fridge

Tip

Use your favourite alcohol to soak fruit - the torta caprese has Amaretto in the recipe, however you can also vary this alcohol too to create a different flavoured cake.

The Torta Caprese is Gluten Free

  • Hi Pat - can't see any reason

    Hi Pat - can't see any reason why you couldn't freeze at the step before dipping in chocolate. If you do - let me know how it goes - there is a fair amount of alcohol in the dried fruit mixture, so it may not freeze solid!!

    I would like to know if this this choc xmas truffles and cake are ok to freeze so I can make it ahead of time.  Obviously I would do choc topping when it was thawed.  Need to take a special desert to a function so was going to do this.
