Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g ladyfingers (savoiardi)
  • ½ cup brewed espresso, cooled
  • 250 g mascarpone cheese
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • additional cocoa powder for dusting

Equipment

  • food processor
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • tray or baking sheet
  • refrigerator
  • fine mesh sieve (for dusting cocoa)

Method
 

  1. Crush the ladyfingers in a food processor until they form fine crumbs.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur (if using) into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.
  4. Gradually fold in the crushed ladyfingers, ensuring the mixture is well incorporated.
  5. Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into walnut-sized balls using your hands.
  6. Place the formed balls on a lined tray and dust them with cocoa powder. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.

Notes

For extra depth, chill the tiramisu balls for a few hours before serving. You can also roll them in grated dark chocolate or dip in melted chocolate for a truffle-like texture. Store refrigerated for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
