Inspired by a classic recipe, I’ve added a personal touch with delightful cheese balls that find their way into every bite. Let’s get started!

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 25-30 minutes
Total time: 45-50 minutes
Number of servings: 12-16 servings

Necessary Ingredients

For the cheese balls:
- 225 g Delaco cheese
- 50 g coconut
- 100 g sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch

For the base:
- 5 eggs
- a pinch of salt
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g flour
- 1 packet baking powder
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee
- rum essence

For the glaze:
- 70 g milk chocolate
- 25 g butter

Step-by-step Preparation

1. Preparing the cheese balls
Start by mixing all the ingredients for the cheese balls well: Delaco cheese, coconut, sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch. Use a spatula or a mixer on low speed to achieve a homogeneous mixture. Ideally, all ingredients should be at room temperature for easier combining. Once you have a smooth mixture, form balls the size of walnuts and place them on a tray. I prefer to grease the tray with a little oil and dust it with flour to prevent sticking.

2. Preparing the base
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt until frothy. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture becomes creamy and light in color. Add the flour mixed with baking powder and instant coffee, gently folding with a spatula or wooden spoon to avoid losing air in the mixture. Finally, add the rum essence for an extra flavor boost.

3. Assembling the cake
Carefully pour the base mixture over the cheese balls, ensuring they are evenly covered. Place the tray in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25-30 minutes. It’s important to do the toothpick test: if the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready! Let the cake cool slightly in the tray.

4. Glazing the cake
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze. Melt the milk chocolate together with the butter in a double boiler or in a heat-resistant bowl, making sure to stir constantly to prevent burning. Once the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth, pour the glaze evenly over the warm cake. Allow the cake to cool completely in the tray before cutting.

Practical Tips

- Make sure the Delaco cheese is well drained of excess liquid to avoid a too moist mixture.
- You can substitute the coconut with ground nuts or pistachios for a crunchy and different version.
- If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, you can add more instant coffee to the base.
- The cake is delicious served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
