Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups crushed ladyfingers
- ¼ cup coffee liqueur
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cocoa powder (for coating)
Instructions
- Combine Ladyfingers and Coffee Liqueur: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed ladyfingers with the coffee liqueur. Stir well until the mixture becomes moist and starts to hold together in a dough-like consistency.
- Add Mascarpone and Sugar: Add the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Roll the Mixture: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they are compact and hold their shape.
- Chill: Arrange the truffle balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and set properly.
- Coat with Cocoa Powder: After chilling, roll each truffle in cocoa powder, making sure each is evenly coated to enhance flavor and presentation.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the tiramisu truffles chilled for the best texture and taste. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use good-quality coffee liqueur for a richer flavor, or substitute with strong brewed coffee for a non-alcoholic option.
- Ensure ladyfingers are finely crushed to help the mixture bind well.
- For extra texture, consider adding finely chopped dark chocolate or espresso powder to the mixture.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Let the truffles sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving if they are too firm from refrigeration.
