It's Christmas time and no table or fridge is complete unless it has some Thermomix Christmas Snow Balls. These are bite size (and a little addictive!) but ever so delicious! You have some sweetness and some butteryness. With beautiful little bites of squishy cherries and cranberries, then bite down on a pistachio to finish off.
You really can't go wrong with these. They are so quick to whip up and perfect for those last minute Christmas gifts (especially if the family have eaten everything else that was destined for gift giving!)
