Tiramisu Truffles. A trendy and quick recipe. An easy-to-make delight, the tiramisu that transforms.
How many versions do we have of tiramisu: strawberry, moscato, peach… It’s said we can’t call everything by the same name, as not all ingredients are the same. In the classic dessert, we find essential ingredients: coffee, ladyfingers, cocoa, eggs, and mascarpone. If I remove the coffee and cocoa and replace them with moscato or peach syrup, I should call it by another name. The base preparation matters, like with cheesecake, which constantly changes flavor, or Bavarian cream, or cream puffs; the base stays the same, the flavor changes… Just like in ice cream!
These magical flavorful balls, which I want to call truffles for their irregular shape, are tempting even in summer. Fresh, fragrant, and tasty. Just put together all the ingredients and shape them.
