- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup brewed espresso, cooled
- 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
- 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur (if using).
- Gradually fold the espresso mixture into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
- Add the chocolate cookie crumbs to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 1 hour to firm up.
- Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into bite-sized balls.
- Roll each truffle in melted chocolate, then dust with cocoa powder.
- Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to set.
Notes
- For a different flavor, try adding a teaspoon of almond extract or a splash of rum to the mascarpone mixture.
- You can substitute the chocolate cookie crumbs with crushed ladyfingers for a more traditional tiramisu flavor.
