Ingredients

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese - at room temperature
  • 36 10.5oz / 300g savoiardi biscuits - ladyfingers
  • 9 tbsp brewed espresso coffee
  • 9 tsp sifted powdered sugar
  • Cacao powder for dusting

Instructions

  • First, make yourself a lovely cup of espresso coffee and set it aside to cool completely. We need it to be nice and chilled for our cream mixture.
  • While the coffee is cooling, take your savoiardi biscuits (those are your lady fingers) and gently pulse them in your blender or food processor until they are a fine powder, like soft dust!
  • Now for the creamy heart of the truffle! In a mixing bowl, scoop in the lovely mascarpone cheese and the sugar. Pour in that cooled espresso and give it all a good mix until you have a beautiful, smooth cream.
  • Next, add those crushed lady fingers to the bowl. Grab your rubber spatula and stir everything together until it's just well combined. Don't worry, it will be a wonderfully thick texture, almost like cookie dough!
  • Take a small teaspoon of that mixture onto your fingers and gently roll it into a neat little ball. Place it on a plate and keep going until you've used up all the mixture, you should end up with about 10 sweet little truffle balls!
  • Tuck the truffle balls into the fridge to set for 1 hour. They will be delightfully soft inside, but if you prefer them a little firmer, just let them rest in the fridge for a bit longer.
  • Finally, pour your cacao powder into a small bowl. Drop the truffle balls in one at a time and roll them around until they are fully coated in that beautiful, rich powder.
  • Serve up your delicious Tiramisu Truffles and enjoy every single bite!
