🍫 Irresistible Tiramisu Truffles

A Decadent Italian-Inspired Treat to Fall in Love With

💌 Introduction

There are desserts that satisfy, and then there are desserts that seduce. These Tiramisu Truffles are the latter — an enchanting bite of Italian romance wrapped in cocoa-dusted elegance. Inspired by the beloved tiramisu, these no-bake delights are creamy, coffee-kissed, and utterly irresistible. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or looking to impress someone special, these truffles speak the language of love.

📜 A Bit of History

Tiramisu, which means “pick me up” in Italian, was born in the Veneto region in the 1960s. Originally served in a dish layered with coffee-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone, it quickly became a symbol of Italian indulgence. Our version transforms this classic into bite-sized spheres of heaven — perfect for sharing… or not.

🧾 Ingredients

  • 1 cup ladyfinger cookies (crushed into fine crumbs)
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons espresso or strong coffee (cooled)
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa – optional, but divine)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (melted, for richness)
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Dark chocolate shavings or curls (optional garnish)

🧑‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Cookies

Using a food processor or rolling pin, pulverize ladyfinger cookies until they resemble fine sand. This forms the flavor base of your truffles.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Core

In a medium bowl, mix mascarpone, espresso, coffee liqueur, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Bring it Together

Fold in the crushed cookies and melted chocolate. Mix until everything is combined into a soft dough. The mixture should be pliable and not too sticky.

Step 4: Chill

Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll.

Step 5: Roll the Truffles

Using a teaspoon or cookie scoop, roll into 1-inch balls. Dust hands with cocoa if needed to prevent sticking.

Step 6: Dust with Cocoa

Roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu finish. You can also drizzle or dip them in melted chocolate if you’re feeling extra decadent.
