Ingredients

For the tiramisu truffle filling:

  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (or 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee)
  • 1 ½ cups crushed ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
  • 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional, but recommended for authentic flavor)

For the chocolate coating:

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter (for smooth melting)

For garnish:

  • White chocolate drizzle (optional)

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Tiramisu Truffle Filling

  • In a bowl, beat together mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and espresso powder until smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in the crushed ladyfingers and mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Add coffee liqueur if using, for an extra tiramisu kick.
  • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until firm enough to roll into balls.

2. Roll Into Truffle Balls

  • Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  • Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes.

3. Melt the Chocolate Coating

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

4. Dip & Coat the Truffles

  • Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  • Tap off excess chocolate and place back on the parchment-lined tray.

5. Garnish & Set

  • Dust with cocoa powder before the chocolate hardens for that classic tiramisu look.
  • Let set in the fridge for 15-20 minutes until firm.

6. Serve & Enjoy!

  • Once set, your Tiramisu Truffles are ready to be devoured or gifted!
