SPIKED TIRAMISU TRUFFLES


Category: Truffles. bonbons and candies
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Makes 40 truffles.

INGREDIENTS:

10 ounces baker's white chocolate
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
2 tsp Marsala Wine
1 tsp instant coffee
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ounce milk chocolate block
1/2 tsp cocoa powder or any other topping you prefer

Assembly:
Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate until smooth without any lumps. Set aside.
Add half of the instant coffee to the Marsala Wine and stir until thoroughly dissolved.
Once the melted chocolate has cooled for a bit, add the mascarpone cheese and mix the two until it is thoroughly combined.
Add the Marsala mix into the chocolate and stir. Add the rest of the instant coffee. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge overnight.
Grate the milk chocolate into fine shavings. Mix the milk chocolate shavings with cocoa powder.
Using a spoon or metal scoop, take around 1 tsp worth of the tiramisu ganache and place it on your palm. Quickly shape it into a ball and toss it into the chocolate shaving mixture.
Roll the ball around until fully coated with chocolate shavings and cocoa powder.
Consume immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

TIP: If you don't want to use Marsala Wine, you can always use other sweet wines like Sherry. Coffee liqueurs like Kahlua and Baileys are also perfect for Tiramisu, and can act as a substitute if you don't have sweet wine. You can eat it on its own, or even top the truffles with some whipped cream if you really want to feel like you're having bite-sized tiramisu.
