Delight in these luscious Tiramisu Truffles, a bite-sized twist on the classic Italian dessert. Combining the rich flavors of mascarpone, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, and a hint of liqueur, these no-bake truffles are dusted with a mix of cocoa and instant coffee powder, offering an indulgent treat perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 20 truffles

Ingredients

Base

  • 5.5 oz (160g) ladyfingers, about 17-18 cookies
  • 9 oz (250g) Mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
  • 1/3 cup (75ml) coffee, cooled to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp coffee liqueur, amaretto, or dark rum (optional)

Topping

  • 2 tsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp instant coffee powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee with the optional coffee liqueur, amaretto, or dark rum if using. Stir gently to mix the flavors.
  2. Soak the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for about 1-2 seconds, making sure they absorb some liquid but do not become soggy. Set aside on a plate.
  3. Make the Mascarpone Mixture: In a mixing bowl, blend the mascarpone cheese, salt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will be the rich filling for the truffles.
  4. Combine and Chill: Crumble the soaked ladyfingers into the mascarpone mixture, folding gently but thoroughly to create a cohesive dough-like consistency. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes to firm up.
  5. Shape the Truffles: Once chilled, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form bite-sized balls. Work quickly to prevent the mixture from warming too much.
  6. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the unsweetened cocoa powder with the instant coffee powder to create the coating.
  7. Coat the Truffles: Roll each truffle in the cocoa and coffee powder mixture until fully covered. Place finished truffles on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  8. Final Chill: Refrigerate the finished truffles for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the texture to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly brewed coffee cooled to room temperature.
  • Adjust the amount of liqueur to your taste or omit for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Handle the mixture with cool hands or chill your hands periodically for easier shaping.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
  • For a decorative touch, try dusting some truffles with pure powdered sugar instead of the cocoa-coffee powder mix.
