The tiramisu truffles or tiramisu balls are a fresh and delicious idea for a dessert that is ready in 5 minutes with no baking and no raw eggs. These are tasty balls made with some of the typical tiramisu ingredients like mascarpone, ladyfingers, coffee, and unsweetened cocoa powder, closely resembling the taste. Naturally, the format and preparation differ from the classic tiramisu. Tiramisu is made of layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream, ideally with pasteurized eggs for safety. These truffles are made by mixing all the ingredients together to form bite-sized balls! Soft, creamy, and very tasty, they require no baking and are ready in under 5 minutes. We just need to be patient and wait at least 30 minutes because the rest in the fridge will make them much more firm and flavorful!
The recipe is very simple: mix mascarpone, powdered sugar, semi-whipped cream, coffee, and crushed ladyfingers. Form balls with the mixture, roll them in unsweetened cocoa powder, and let them rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, and they’re ready.
These mini tiramisu are the ideal dessert to prepare at the last minute as a post-meal treat for unexpected guests, or they are perfect when you suddenly crave something sweet but have little time and energy to prepare anything elaborate. Also, since they are no-bake, they are an ideal dessert for summer, and you can store them in the freezer so you’ll always have a tiramisu truffle ready for your break moments! You should try them as soon as possible!
