Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup (about 240g) mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup crushed ladyfinger cookies (about 100g)
  • 1/2 cup cooled espresso (about 120ml)
  • 1/4 cup (about 50g) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating Ingredients

  • 8 oz (about 225g) dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee Mixture: Brew a strong cup of espresso and allow it to cool completely to room temperature to avoid melting the mascarpone cheese when mixed.
  2. Make the Mascarpone Filling: In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, crushed ladyfinger cookies, cooled espresso, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and well blended, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Combine Ingredients for the Truffle Mixture: Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about an hour. This step helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to shape into truffles.
  4. Shape the Truffles: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form small balls from the chilled mixture and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Keep them evenly sized for uniform coating and presentation.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off before placing them back on the parchment paper.
  6. Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the chocolate-coated truffles for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
  7. Dust with Cocoa Powder: Before serving, lightly dust the truffles with cocoa powder for the classic tiramisu finish and enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • Always use cooled espresso, as hot coffee can cause the mascarpone to melt and the filling to become too runny.
  • Avoid overmixing the filling to keep the texture light and creamy.
  • Chilling the mixture is crucial for easy shaping and prevents the truffles from falling apart.
  • Cocoa powder dusting adds an essential bitter contrast and authentic tiramisu flavor.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
