PRESENTATION

Tiramisù truffles are what happens when you take the five core ingredients of the classic dessert — espresso, mascarpone, ladyfingers, sugar, cocoa — and compress them into a single bite. No layers, no dish, no slicing. The ladyfingers are blitzed to a powder and bound with mascarpone and cold coffee into a dough that rolls cleanly and firms up fast in the refrigerator. A coating of unsweetened cocoa gives each truffle the same bittersweet finish as the dessert it came from.

They're no-bake, made in under 30 minutes, and hold well in the refrigerator for several days — which makes them as practical as they are easy to eat. The yield is around 30 pieces, which is enough for a table of guests without doubling the recipe. If you want to vary the coating, chopped pistachios or dark chocolate work well — the cocoa version is the classic, but the contrast of green or bitter chocolate against the coffee cream is worth trying at least once.

INGREDIENTS

for about 30 truffles: Mascarpone cheese 1.1 cups (250 g); Ladyfingers 5.6 oz (160 g); Coffee 5 tbsp (80 g) - (from the moka pot at room temperature); Powdered sugar ½ cup (60 g)

for garnish: Unsweetened cocoa powder to taste

Preparation

How to prepare Tiramisù truffles

To prepare the tiramisu truffles, first, make the coffee and let it cool until it reaches room temperature. Place the ladyfingers in a mixer with blades 1, close the lid 2, and blend them until they turn into powder 3.

Transfer the cookie powder to a bowl, then add the mascarpone, powdered sugar 4, and coffee 5. Mix with a spoon 6.

You should have a homogeneous mixture 8. At this point, take a teaspoon of the mixture, about 0.5 oz 7, and form a ball 9.

Roll it in cocoa powder, covering all sides well 10, and continue in this way until the mixture is finished; with these doses, you will get about 30 truffles. Arrange them on a tray 11 and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour (or in the freezer for 20 minutes) before serving. Your tiramisu truffles are ready to be enjoyed 12!

Storage

Store the tiramisu truffles in the refrigerator and consume them within a couple of days.

Tips

Feel free to use any type of cookies you prefer and flavor your balls with cinnamon, vanilla, or cardamom, for example!

Once you make the balls, you can insert sticks to create a sort of Cake pops.
