Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 200g ladyfingers (savoiardi)
  • ½ cup brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)

Mascarpone Mixture

  • 250g mascarpone cheese
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Finishing

  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • Additional cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Crush the ladyfingers: Using a food processor, crush the ladyfingers until they form fine, even crumbs, creating the base texture for the tiramisu balls.
  2. Mix mascarpone mixture: In a large bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir or whisk until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Add espresso and liqueur: Pour the cooled espresso and optional coffee liqueur into the mascarpone mixture. Mix thoroughly to infuse the rich coffee flavor evenly throughout.
  4. Fold in ladyfinger crumbs: Gradually fold the crushed ladyfinger crumbs into the creamy mixture until well combined and homogenous, ensuring the mixture holds together when shaped.
  5. Shape the balls: With clean hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into walnut-sized balls, pressing gently to maintain shape without cracking.
  6. Dust with cocoa powder: Place the formed balls on a lined tray and dust them generously with cocoa powder to add a classic tiramisu finish.
  7. Chill or serve: Refrigerate the tiramisu balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up and deepen flavors, or serve immediately for a softer, creamier texture.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso powder instead of brewed espresso.
  • Coffee liqueur is optional but adds a traditional tiramisu depth of flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a vegan version, substitute mascarpone with a vegan cream cheese alternative and use vegan ladyfingers or cookies.
  • Dust with cocoa powder just before serving to avoid it becoming soggy.
