(The perfect no-bake treat with all the flavors of classic tiramisu — coffee, mascarpone, and cocoa — rolled into delicious bite-sized truffles.)
Makes: 20-24 truffles
Prep Time: 20 minutes (plus chilling time)
Total Time: 1 hour
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250g) mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee (or espresso)
- 1 1/2 cups crushed ladyfingers (or graham crackers for a twist)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped dark chocolate (or mini chocolate chips)
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Make the Base:
- In a large bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and brewed coffee until smooth and well combined.
- Add the Crunch:
- Fold in the crushed ladyfingers and chopped dark chocolate. The mixture should be soft but firm enough to roll into balls. If it’s too soft, chill it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
- Roll into Truffles:
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Coat in Cocoa:
- Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until evenly coated. For extra flair, you can also dip some in melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed ladyfingers or chocolate shavings.
- Chill:
- Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Keep these truffles refrigerated; they’re best served cold!
- Add a splash of coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa) for a grown-up version with extra kick.
DON’T:
- Skip the chilling step. Warm truffles = sticky mess.
- Use cream cheese instead of mascarpone; mascarpone gives the authentic tiramisu flavor.
Pro Tips:
- These truffles can be made up to 3 days ahead of time—just store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Want a festive look? Drizzle white chocolate over the top or roll them in crushed nuts for added texture.
Rich, creamy, and with just the right hint of coffee, these Tiramisu Truffles are a little bite of heaven. Perfect for parties, gifts, or sneaking straight from the fridge at midnight.
