Quick and Easy Tiramisu Balls: A Delightful No-Egg Treat ‎‎

Instructions: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare the Base
   In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed ladyfingers or graham cracker crumbs with mascarpone cheese, espresso, and coffee liqueur (if using). Stir well until you achieve a smooth, sticky mixture. Adjust the sweetness by adding powdered sugar to taste.
2. Shape the Balls
   Using your hands, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into small balls. Repeat until all the mixture is used. You should have around 12–15 balls, depending on the size.
3. Coat with Cocoa
   Pour the cocoa powder onto a small plate. Roll each ball in the cocoa powder, ensuring they’re evenly coated for that classic tiramisu finish.
4. Chill
   Place the tiramisu balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and the flavors to meld.
5. Serve and Enjoy
   Once chilled, serve the tiramisu balls with a dusting of extra cocoa or a drizzle of melted chocolate if desired.
