Description
These Tiramisu Truffles combine crushed ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone, espresso, and vanilla, all coated in white chocolate and finished with cocoa powder. They’re a no-bake dessert that’s elegant and full of classic tiramisu flavor.
Ingredients
- 18–20 crisp ladyfingers (about 150g)
- 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons strong espresso or coffee
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 oz (285g) white chocolate, melted
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Crush ladyfingers into fine crumbs.
- Mix mascarpone, espresso, liqueur (if using), powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in crumbs until fully combined. Chill if mixture is too soft.
- Roll into 1-tablespoon balls and refrigerate 30–45 minutes.
- Melt white chocolate until smooth.
- Dip each truffle into chocolate and place on parchment paper.
- Dust lightly with cocoa powder before chocolate fully sets.

Notes
- Chill truffles thoroughly before dipping to prevent melting.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for smoother coating.
- If chocolate thickens, gently rewarm in short intervals.
- Store chilled due to mascarpone content.
