Instructions
- First prepare the balls — mix the ingredients and shape them the size of a small walnut. Put them in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Pour 1-2 spoons of hot water over the cocoa to make it into a paste and set aside.
- Beat the eggs with the sugar until pale.
- Add the milk, the oil, the flour sifted with the baking powder and finally the vanilla. Stir with a spatula.
- Distribute half of the batter into 16 muffin cavities — one tablespoon in each.
- Add the cocoa to the other half of the batter. In each cavity, over the white mixture, pour one spoon of the dark batter.
- Place one white ball on top and press it to sink into the mixture.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until a dry toothpick comes out (20 min).
- Melt the chocolate over a water bath with a little butter or oil and glaze the cooled muffins. Leave to let the chocolate set.
