English translation:coffee ice-cream truffles
Explanation:
My best estimate is 'coffee ice-cream truffles'.

Smallish chocolate covered 'drops' of 'ice-cream'.

I think 'chocolate pearls' are small flavoured balls of chocolate mixed into something else - similar to chocolate chips. These things are served alone, not mixed into something.
