Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • 1 cup ladyfinger crumbs
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Prepare mascarpone mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add espresso flavor: Dissolve the instant espresso powder in a tablespoon of hot water, then stir it into the mascarpone mixture to infuse the truffles with rich coffee flavor.
  3. Combine with ladyfinger crumbs: Gently fold the ladyfinger crumbs into the mascarpone mixture until everything is well combined and holds together, creating a firm yet creamy filling.
  4. Chill the mixture: Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill the mixture for 15 minutes to make it easier to roll into balls.
  5. Shape the truffles: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter for perfect portioning.
  6. Coat with cocoa powder: Roll each ball in cocoa powder until evenly coated, giving the truffles their classic tiramisu finish.
  7. Final chill: Refrigerate the coated truffles for at least 10 minutes to set before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh mascarpone cheese for the best creamy texture.
  • Instant espresso powder can be substituted with strong brewed espresso but reduce the liquid slightly.
  • Ladyfinger crumbs can be made by crushing store-bought ladyfingers or using sponge cake crumbs as an alternative.
  • For a less sweet version, reduce the powdered sugar to 2 tablespoons.
  • Store tiramisu truffles refrigerated in an airtight container and consume within 3 days.
  • For a festive twist, dust truffles with powdered sugar or finely grated dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder.
