Ingredients
Scale
For the Truffle Mixture
- 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60ml) strong brewed espresso, cooled
For Coating
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, sugar, and cooled espresso. Beat or whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and fully incorporated, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Shape the Truffles: Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop the mixture and roll it between your palms to form small, bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- Chill the Truffles: Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to help them firm up and hold their shape.
- Coat with Cocoa Powder: After chilling, roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder until fully coated, then place them back on the parchment-lined tray and keep refrigerated until serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, strong espresso for the best tiramisu flavor. Instant espresso powder can be used as an alternative if brewed coffee is unavailable.
- For a boozy twist, add 1 tablespoon of coffee liqueur or rum to the cheese mixture before mixing.
- Keep the truffles refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
- If the mixture is too soft to shape, chill it for an additional 30 minutes before rolling.
