Easy Tiramisu Chocolate Truffles offer a no-bake, quick-to-make dessert that captures the classic flavors of Italian tiramisu in bite-sized, luscious chocolate treats. Combining creamy mascarpone, rich espresso, and smooth dark chocolate, these truffles are perfect for indulgent snacks, elegant gifts, or last-minute dessert options.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Mascarpone Cheese
  • Heavy Cream
  • Espresso or Strong Coffee
  • Powdered Sugar
  • Dark Chocolate
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Mixture: Start by beating the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and espresso, combining them until you get a smooth and creamy blend that’s thick enough to hold its shape.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Place the creamy tiramisu base in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This chilling step firms up the mixture, making it easier to handle when shaping the truffles.
  3. Form the Truffles: Using a small scoop or spoon, take portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into small, uniform balls with your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined tray ready for coating.
  4. Coat in Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently. Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate until fully coated, then return to the parchment paper to set.
  5. Dust with Cocoa Powder: After the chocolate shell has hardened, sift a light layer of cocoa powder over the truffles for a classic tiramisu finish that’s slightly bitter and beautifully balanced.

Notes

  • Use fresh mascarpone and strong espresso for best flavor authenticity.
  • Proper chilling of the mixture helps truffles hold their shape and makes coating easier.
  • Temper chocolate to achieve a shiny finish and crisp texture without bloom.
  • Make truffles bite-sized for an ideal balance of richness and portion control.
  • Use gloves or lightly oil hands to prevent sticking when shaping truffles.
  • Experiment with different coffee types like espresso, cold brew, or instant coffee to adjust flavor intensity.
