Ingredients
  

Tiramisu Base

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup strong espresso (cooled)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 8 ounces dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa solids

Dusting

  • unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Optional

  • 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur optional, for extra flavor

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Blend the Base – In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup cooled strong espresso, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
  • Step 2: Chill the Mixture – Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.
  • Step 3: Form the Truffle Balls – Once chilled, use a small ice cream scoop or teaspoon to scoop out the mixture. Gently roll the scoops between your palms to form smooth, bite-sized balls.
  • Step 4: Prepare the Chocolate Coating – Melt 8 ounces of dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth.
  • Step 5: Coat the Truffles – Using a fork, dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coat. Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined tray.
  • Step 6: Final Chill and Set – Refrigerate the chocolate-coated truffles for an additional 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
