Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese preferably at room temperature
- 12 savoiardi biscuits (ladyfingers), about 3.5 oz or 100 g
- 3 tablespoons brewed espresso coffee, cooled
- 3 teaspoons sifted powdered sugar
- Cacao powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Espresso: Brew 3 tablespoons of espresso coffee and allow it to cool completely before using to avoid melting the mascarpone.
- Crush Ladyfingers: Place the savoiardi biscuits into a blender or food processor and blitz until they reach a fine powder consistency.
- Make Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the room temperature mascarpone cheese with the sifted powdered sugar. Add the cooled espresso and mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the crushed ladyfinger powder to the mascarpone mixture. Using a rubber spatula, stir until fully combined into a thick, cookie dough-like consistency.
- Shape Truffles: Scoop a teaspoon of the mixture with your fingers and roll it into a ball. Place the formed truffle onto a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture to make approximately 10 truffle balls.
- Chill: Place the truffle balls in the refrigerator and let them set for 1 hour to firm up slightly. For a firmer texture, chill for longer as desired.
- Dust with Cacao: Transfer cacao powder into a small bowl. One at a time, roll each chilled truffle ball in the cacao powder to coat thoroughly.
- Serve: Arrange the dusted truffles on a serving plate and enjoy your decadent Tiramisu Truffles.
Notes
- For stronger coffee flavor, use espresso or highly concentrated coffee.
- If mascarpone is too cold, it may be difficult to mix; allow it to come to room temperature before starting.
- Use sifted powdered sugar to avoid lumps in the cream mixture.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
- For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon of coffee liqueur like Kahlúa to the mascarpone mixture.
