Ingredients (Makes 16 Truffles)
- 1½ cups crushed ladyfingers
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup cocoa powder (for rolling or dusting)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Truffle Base
In a bowl, combine crushed ladyfingers, mascarpone, powdered sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and uniform.
Step 2: Shape the Truffles
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 16 even balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and chill for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Coat the Truffles
Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
You can either:
- Dip chilled truffles in the melted chocolate, then place them back on the tray.
- Roll them in cocoa powder for a softer, more traditional tiramisu texture.
Step 4: Set and Finish
Dust truffles with additional cocoa powder if desired. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to allow the coatings to set.
Tips & Variations
- Add a kick: Mix in 1 tsp coffee liqueur for a boozy twist.
- No ladyfingers? Use crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers.
- Make ahead: These truffles keep well in the fridge for 3–4 days.
