Delight in these no-bake Tiramisu Truffles, a bite-sized Italian dessert that’s rich, creamy, and bursting with coffee flavor. Made with mascarpone cheese, crushed ladyfingers, and espresso, then dusted with unsweetened cocoa powder, these truffles are perfect for a sophisticated treat that requires minimal effort and no baking.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 25 servings

Ingredients

Mascarpone Mixture

  • 250 g mascarpone cheese (about 9 oz, at room temperature)
  • 40 g powdered sugar (about ⅓ cup)
  • 30 ml freshly brewed espresso (2 tablespoons, cooled)

Ladyfinger Base

  • 130 g Savoiardi ladyfingers (about 4.5 oz, roughly 8 to 10 ladyfingers)

Coating

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (to taste for coating)

Instructions

  1. Brew the espresso: Prepare freshly brewed espresso and set it aside to cool completely. It is crucial to use cooled coffee to prevent affecting the mascarpone’s texture. Avoid sweetening the coffee for a balanced taste.
  2. Grind the ladyfingers: Place the ladyfingers into a blender or food processor. Pulse until they become fine crumbs, resembling a sandy texture without any large chunks.
  3. Mix mascarpone and crumbs: Transfer the ground ladyfingers to a large mixing bowl. Add the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and smooth.
  4. Add espresso: Pour the cooled espresso into the mixture. Stir gently until you achieve a thick, smooth mixture that is soft yet firm enough to mold.
  5. Shape truffles: Scoop a small amount of the mascarpone blend and roll it into walnut-sized balls using your hands. Smooth the surface by gently rolling between your palms. Maintain this size for optimal texture and flavor balance.
  6. Coat with cocoa powder: Roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder until fully covered. Place them on a serving plate or tray, leaving space between each truffle.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour before serving. This helps them set properly and enhances their flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the espresso is fully cooled to maintain the mascarpone’s creamy texture.
  • The size of the truffles should be small, around walnut-sized, for the best taste experience.
  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder to balance the sweetness of the truffles.
  • These truffles can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
