Delightfully indulgent Tiramisu Truffles combine classic Italian coffee-soaked ladyfingers and creamy mascarpone cheese into bite-sized chocolate-coated treats. These rich, coffee-infused truffles are perfect for dessert lovers seeking an elegant yet easy-to-make sweet.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup (about 240g) Mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup crushed Ladyfinger cookies (about 100g)
  • 1/2 cup cooled Espresso (about 120ml)
  • 1/4 cup Sugar (about 50g)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Coating

  • 8 oz (about 225g) Dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee Mixture: Brew a strong cup of espresso and allow it to cool completely to room temperature, ensuring the coffee flavor is rich yet not too hot to affect the mascarpone.
  2. Make the Mascarpone Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, crushed ladyfinger cookies, cooled espresso, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and evenly blended to achieve the classic tiramisu flavor in truffle form.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the combined mixture for about one hour. This step helps firm up the mixture so it becomes easier to shape into balls.
  4. Shape the Truffles: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, form small balls from the chilled mixture and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to prepare for coating.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Melt the dark chocolate gently over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage, and let the excess drip off before returning to the sheet.
  6. Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the coated truffles for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set. Optionally, dust with cocoa powder before serving for an authentic tiramisu touch.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso or very strong coffee for the best authentic taste.
  • Ensure the espresso is cooled before mixing to avoid melting the mascarpone.
  • Ladyfinger cookies can be crushed by placing them in a sealed bag and using a rolling pin.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
  • For a boozy variant, add a tablespoon of coffee liqueur such as Kahlúa to the mixture.
  • If dark chocolate is too bitter, semi-sweet chocolate can be used as an alternative.
