No Bake Tiramisu Truffles a delicious tiramisu filling with a milk or dark chocolate coating. The perfect no bake Holiday treat.

No Bake Tiramisu Truffles made with lady fingers, mascarpone, coffee and cream, then dipped in melted milk or dark chocolate.

No Bake Tiramisu Truffles, our new Christmas no bake Candy recipe. Creamy and so fast and easy to make. So as we head into Christmas count down, and I am pretty well finished with baking cookies. I decided to make some truffles.

Tiramisu Dough

  • Sugar
  • Mascarpone
  • Cream
  • Coffee – strong

Extras

  • Dark chocolate

How to make them

In a food processor add the Savoiardi Cookies and the sugar and pulse until completely crushed, then add the mascarpone and the cream, combine. Add the coffee a little at a time and combine, start with 1 tablespoon until the dough sticks together. The dough will be thick. 

Place the dough in a glass bowl, cover with plastic and refrigerate 3-4 hours.

Remove from the fridge and roll the dough into golf ball size balls (or slightly smaller if desired). Freeze for approximately 15-20 minutes.

While they are in the freezer, melt the chocolate, place half the chocolate in a bowl over a pot of boiling water, stir until melted, remove from heat then add the remaining chocolate stirring until smooth, let cool slightly.

Remove from the freezer, place a toothpick in every ball and dip into the melted chocolate, place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet with the toothpick still attached. 

While the chocolate is still wet, add chocolate curls. Let harden. Then dust with cocoa.

    I love chocolate and the Italian loves anything Tiramisu.

    To think when I first came to Italy I had never tasted nor heard of Tiramisu, and then when my sister-in-law made it, I firmly believed that I had never eaten anything so delicious in my life.

    Her Tiramisu made with my mother-in-law’s Sponge Cake is one of our favourite desserts.

    How to store the Chocolate Truffles

    Because of the cream and mascarpone in these Homemade truffles they should be stored in an airtight container and kept in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to one to two weeks.

    They can also be frozen, the best way to freeze them is on a cookie tray, freeze for about an hour or until firm , then move them to a freezer safe container, separate them with a layer of parchment paper. They will keep for up to 6 months in the freezer.

    And what’s even better about these truffles? They are a no bake recipe. And of course you can’t have Tiramisu without a sprinkle of cocoa or so says my husband! It’s not Christmas without Truffles. Enjoy!

        I read that Savoiardi cookies are hard, unlike most ladyfingers, which are softer. Does that mean one should not use regular ladyfingers in this recipe?

          Hi Priscilla, no you can use regular lady fingers in this recipe. Either will work. I hope you like them. Take care!

          Hi Bruce you need to use a cream that has at least 30% fat, so whole, heavy or whipping cream. Hope that helps.

        Do you have to temper for truffles.
        Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes.

          Hi Rosalind, in an airtight container they should keep at room temperature for about 3 days, or in the fridge for 5-8 days.

        Hi Rosemary I also made these today just to try them as I couldn’t wait for a special occasion and they are to die for. My husband is the taste tester and he was absolutely blown away with them. My family comes over every Sunday and I always have a home made dessert ready so this will be part of the dessert which I am sure they will love.

        Thanks

        Mil

        Do you use coffee as in liquid or coffee as in coffee grounds?

          Hi Melissa, that would be liquid coffee. I hope you like them.
