Stage 4 - 3 min.

Stage 7 - 5 min.
Tiramisu balls
Roll the dough into a ball between your hands...

Stage 8
Tiramisu balls
...and place them as you go on a baking sheet.

Place in the fridge, covered with cling film.

Stage 10
Tiramisu balls
...and tap to remove excess.

Stage 11
Tiramisu balls
Do this for each ball, then serve within half an hour, otherwise the cocoa will moisten and turn a very dark brown, far less appetizing.
Remarks
You can replace the sponge cookies with boudoirs.

This is a recipe that can easily be made into filled balls: As you roll them, insert a small piece of fruit purée or jam (for example) in the middle, which you've hardened in the freezer in small heaps.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film, without the cocoa.
