Print Recipe

Indulge in these delightful Tiramisu Truffles, a bite-sized version of the classic Italian dessert. With layers of rich mascarpone, coffee, and chocolate, these truffles are perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 tablespoon of coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 8 ounces of mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of crushed ladyfinger cookies (about 10–12 cookies)
  • 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • 1/2 cup of dark chocolate, finely chopped (for coating)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the cooled brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Set aside.
  2. In a separate large mixing bowl, add the softened mascarpone cheese. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mascarpone until it’s smooth and creamy.
  3. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form (about 3-5 minutes). Be careful not to over-whip.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula.
  5. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Fold until well combined and smooth.
  6. Add the crushed ladyfinger cookies and gently fold them in until evenly distributed.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  8. After an hour, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the filling and roll it into a ball. Dust your hands with cocoa powder if the mixture is sticky.
  9. Place the rolled truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  10. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to firm up.
  11. Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave (in 30-second intervals).
  12. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  13. Let excess chocolate drip off and place back on the baking sheet.
  14. Dust with cocoa powder while the chocolate is still wet.
  15. Refrigerate the coated truffles for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
  16. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the coffee liqueur.
  • These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Feel free to experiment with different coatings, such as crushed nuts or sprinkles.
