By Weekly Blog We’re always keen for a good, tasty truffle. What’s not to love? They’re quick to make, easy to scale up, and so indulgent! These Tiramisu Truffles are no different. It’s an easy, no-bake dessert recipe that creates the bite-sized version of the classic Italian tiramisu. With the same classic ingredients you’d find in a regular tiramisu (ladyfingers, mascarpone, powdered sugar, espresso, and cocoa powder), you can whip up delicious truffles in no time! They’re sweet with a touch of bitterness from the cocoa powder, and the texture is soft as you bite into them. You simply mix the dough ingredients together, add hazelnut cream to the center, and roll into tasty tiramisu bites.
Tiramisu Truffle Ingredients
Ladyfingers – also known as Savoiardi, an Italian biscuit made with a sponge cake batter
Mascarpone – use full-fat for best results
Powdered sugar – make sure to use powdered sugar, not granulated sugar
Espresso coffee – make it as strong as you like!
Hazelnut cream – use a hazelnut spread like Nutella
Cocoa powder – use natural, unsweetened cocoa powder
How To Make Tiramisu Truffles
Start by making the truffle ‘dough’. Process the ladyfingers in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs and set aside. In another bowl, mix the mascarpone and powdered sugar with a spatula until smooth and all the sugar is dissolved. Add the espresso and mix again until fully combined. Gradually add the ladyfinger crumbs to the mascarpone mixture. Combine well until the mixture is compact. Allow to refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Once the dough had time to refrigerate, you can form it into balls. Flatten it slightly and add a spoonful of hazelnut cream. Fold the dough around the hazelnut cream and form it into a ball again. Allow to refrigerate for 30 minutes for another 30 minutes. Roll into cocoa powder before serving.
