Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
- 12 savoiardi biscuits (3.5 oz / 100 g)
- 3 tablespoons brewed espresso coffee
- 3 teaspoons sifted powdered sugar
For Coating
- Cacao powder for dusting
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Brew 3 tablespoons of espresso coffee and allow it to cool completely before using.
- Crush Biscuits: Place the savoiardi biscuits in a blender or food processor and blitz until they reach a fine powder consistency.
- Prepare Cream Mixture: In a bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. Add the cooled espresso coffee and mix gently until a smooth cream mixture forms.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the crushed ladyfinger biscuits to the cream mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until fully combined into a thick, cookie dough-like batter.
- Form Truffles: Using a teaspoon, scoop portions of the mixture and roll with your fingers into small balls. Place them on a plate. You should have about 10 truffles.
- Chill Truffles: Refrigerate the truffle balls for 1 hour to set and develop flavors. For a firmer texture, chill longer as preferred.
- Coat with Cacao: Place cacao powder in a small bowl. Drop each chilled truffle into the powder and roll to coat evenly.
- Serve: Arrange the coated truffles on a serving plate and enjoy your delicious Tiramisu Truffles.
Notes
- Ensure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- You can substitute brewed espresso with strong brewed coffee if needed.
- For a firmer truffle center, refrigerate the truffles for up to 2 hours.
- Use sifted powdered sugar to avoid lumps in the cream mixture.
- Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
