Description
Creamy mascarpone, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and a rich chocolate shell come together in these no-bake Tiramisu Truffles. Elegant enough for entertaining and easy enough for everyday indulgence, these bite-sized treats are pure decadence with an Italian twist.
Ingredients
1 cup strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled
12 ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
8 oz mascarpone cheese
6 oz white chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
8 oz dark or semisweet chocolate, melted (for coating)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder or shaved chocolate (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Brew espresso and let it cool in a shallow bowl. Optional: Add a teaspoon of sugar or splash of liqueur.
2. Break ladyfingers into pieces and quickly dip into the coffee. Don’t oversoak.
3. In a mixing bowl, stir mascarpone, melted white chocolate, and vanilla (if using) until smooth.
4. Add soaked ladyfingers and mix well. Chill for 1–2 hours until firm.
5. Scoop and roll the mixture into balls. Freeze for 15–20 minutes.
6. Dip each truffle into melted dark chocolate, tapping off excess.
7. Garnish with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings. Let set before serving.
Notes
Always chill the mixture well before shaping to avoid stickiness.
Use high-quality chocolate for the best texture and shine.
You can freeze uncoated truffles for dipping later—perfect for prepping ahead.
