Ingredients (Measured in Grams)

250g mascarpone cheese, room temperature
100g heavy cream
50g powdered sugar
5g vanilla extract (about 1 teaspoon)
60g strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled
30g coffee liqueur (optional, but recommended)
250g dark chocolate (for coating, chopped into small pieces)
10g cocoa powder (for dusting)
30g finely chopped chocolate (optional, for garnishing)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture:

In a medium bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur, and mix until everything is well incorporated.

2. Form the Truffles:

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out small amounts of the mascarpone mixture (about 1 tablespoon per truffle).
Roll each portion into a ball between your palms. If the mixture is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes before rolling.

3. Chill the Truffles:

Place the rolled truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

4. Coat the Truffles:

While the truffles chill, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between.
Once the truffles are chilled and the chocolate is melted, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Use a fork to lift the truffles and gently tap to remove any excess chocolate.

5. Dust with Cocoa Powder:

After coating in chocolate, return the truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Dust with cocoa powder for that signature tiramisu look and flavor.

6. Chill Again:

Chill the truffles again for about 10–15 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set.

7. Serve:

Once set, your tiramisu truffles are ready to be enjoyed! Garnish with finely chopped chocolate for an extra touch of elegance, if desired.

Tips and Tricks for Perfect Tiramisu Truffles ☕????

Chill the mixture: If your truffle mixture is too soft, don’t skip chilling it before rolling. This will make forming the truffles easier and prevent them from falling apart.
Coffee flavor: For a more intense coffee flavor, increase the amount of espresso or coffee liqueur, or even add instant coffee granules to the mascarpone mixture.
Melt the chocolate properly: Use the double boiler method or microwave in intervals to ensure your chocolate stays smooth and glossy without burning.
Customize the coating: Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, finely chopped chocolate, or even crushed nuts for different textures and flavors.

Variations:

White Chocolate Coating: Instead of dark chocolate, try a white chocolate coating for a sweeter, creamier flavor.
Caramel Drizzle: Drizzle with caramel sauce after the chocolate coating sets for a rich contrast to the coffee flavor.
Coconut Tiramisu Truffles: Add a touch of coconut extract to the mascarpone mixture and roll the truffles in shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
