Description
These Tiramisu Truffles are a bite-sized twist on the classic Italian dessert, made with mascarpone cheese, espresso, and crushed ladyfingers. Coated in rich cocoa powder or melted chocolate, these no-bake truffles are the perfect treat for coffee and chocolate lovers!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups crushed ladyfingers
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (for coating)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Truffle Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, combine crushed ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla extract.
- Mix until a smooth dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture feels too soft, chill it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
Step 2: Shape the Truffles
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 20 minutes.
Step 3: Coat the Truffles
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- Roll half of the truffles in cocoa powder and dip the other half in melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place back on the baking sheet and refrigerate for another 15 minutes to set.
Serving Suggestions:
- Dust with extra cocoa powder or grated chocolate for an elegant touch.
- Serve with espresso or cappuccino for the ultimate tiramisu experience.
- Gift them in a decorative box for a homemade gourmet treat.
Notes
- Make ahead: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Prefer a boozy version? Add 1 tablespoon of coffee liqueur (Kahlúa or Baileys) to the mixture.
- No ladyfingers? Substitute with graham crackers or vanilla wafers.
