When dessert calls for something special but simple, these Tiramisu Truffles with Blueberries answer in style. Soft mascarpone blended with whipped cream and sugar, flavored with coffee, then shaped into delicate bites. Blueberries bring a burst of freshness, cocoa adds a touch of decadence, and the result is a dessert that feels fancy without hours of effort. They’re perfect for surprise guests, celebrations, or whenever you want a sweet treat that looks and tastes elegant with minimal fuss.
It cooks faster and easier than the classic version, in my opinion. And it’s always handy if guests give you a heads up about their visit. The question of what to treat surprise guests to is instantly solved. The good thing is that you always have the stuff you need for this treat in stock.
I suppose that among lovers of culinary delights there will be restless experimenters who will want to change the recipe in their own way. You are welcome to do so. But you must take into account that the flavor nuances will also be different.
I haven’t tried it, but they say that it is not at all necessary to use only the specified biscuit. And expensive cheese, as some people point out, can be replaced with soft cottage cheese. In a separate photo, I presented a coffee version of the base of the dish. Instead of it, it is acceptable to use fruit or berry puree, other additives.
- Mascarpone1 cup
- Cocoa powder
- Strong brewed coffee3 tbsp
- Powdered sugar
- Mixed berries or chopped fruit, nuts
- Whipping cream 33%
- Use a food processor to grind the biscuits into fine crumbs.
- Mix with coffee.
- Add the powdered sugar.
- Then add the mascarpone.
- Finally, pour in the whipped cream, obtaining a smooth, slightly viscous texture that allows you to shape the mixture however you like.
- This can be done with two teaspoons.
- First, I fill one of them with the resulting mixture. For example, I put blueberries in it. Then I cover everything with the second device, which is also filled with dough. Or you can just use your hands to form a dessert ball.
- In both cases, roll each cookie in the cocoa mixture.
- Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Once cooled, they are much more flavorful.
