Ingredients
200g ladyfingers (savoiardi)
½ cup brewed espresso, cooled
250g mascarpone cheese
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Additional cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Ladyfingers:
Crush the ladyfingers in a food processor until they form fine crumbs. - Make the Mascarpone Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth. - Add the Espresso and Coffee Liqueur:
Add the cooled espresso and optional coffee liqueur to the mascarpone mixture and stir until well combined. - Combine with Ladyfingers:
Gradually fold in the ladyfinger crumbs until the mixture is homogenous. - Shape the Tiramisu Balls:
Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about the size of a walnut. - Dust and Chill:
Place the balls on a lined tray and dust with cocoa powder. Chill the Tiramisu Balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set, or serve immediately if you prefer a softer texture.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Tip: These tiramisu balls can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For Extra Flavor: If you don’t have coffee liqueur, you can substitute with a splash of rum or omit it entirely.
- Texture Preference: Chill them for a firmer texture, or serve right away for a softer, more indulgent treat.
