Tiramisu Cake Truffles Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Make cake mix as directed on box, using water, oil and egg whites and adding coffee powder. Bake and cool as directed for 13x9-inch pan.
• Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. Crumble cake into large bowl. Add mascarpone cheese and liqueur; mix well. Shape into 1-inch balls; place on cookie sheet. Freeze until firm; keep refrigerated.
• In microwavable bowl, microwave candy coating and chocolate chips uncovered on Medium (50%) 2 minutes, then in 15-second intervals, until melted; stir until smooth.
• Remove cake balls from refrigerator a few at a time. Using fork, dip each cake ball into melted chocolate to cover; tap off excess. Return to cookie sheet. Let stand until set. Sprinkle with cocoa. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until very thick and light yellow. Lower the speed to medium and add 1/4 cup rum, 1/4 cup espresso, and the mascarpone. Whisk until smooth.
• Combine the remaining 1/4 cup rum and 1 1/4 cups espresso in a shallow bowl. Dip 1 side of each ladyfinger in the espresso/rum mixture and line the bottom of a 9 by 12 by 2-inch dish. Pour half the espresso cream mixture evenly on top. Dip 1 side of the remaining ladyfingers in the espresso/rum mixture and place them in a second layer in the dish. Pour the rest of the espresso cream over the top. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
• Before serving, sprinkle the top with shaved chocolate and dust lightly with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

Steps:

• Gently heat the double cream and butter until just steaming. Put the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl, pour over the warm cream and stir to melt. Stir in the marsala, then mix the espresso powder with 1 tbsp boiling water and add this as well. Chill for 1-2 hrs, or until firm enough to scoop. Use a teaspoon to scoop the mixture and gently roll into balls using your hands (you may want to use gloves). Put on a lined baking tray and freeze for 30 mins.
• Heat the white chocolate in the microwave for 1-2 mins, or until melted, then dip each ball in the white chocolate and return to the tray using a fork. Dust with a little espresso powder while the chocolate is still soft. Return to the freezer for 10-15 mins to set. Will keep in the fridge for three days.

Steps:

• Place ladyfingers in a food processor and blitz until they are reduced to powder.
• Place mascarpone cheese into a bowl and mix in coffee and amaretto liqueur. Add powdered sugar with a spatula until well combined. Next add powdered ladyfingers and stir again to combine.
• Take about 1 teaspoon of dough and roll into a ball. Roll each ball in cocoa powder and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
• Chill truffles in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with shortening; line pans with cooking parchment paper. Make cake mix as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs. Pour batter into pans.
• Bake 25 to 29 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely.
• In small bowl, mix coffee syrup ingredients. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons cognac and the vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. In small bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture until combined.
• To assemble, cut each cake horizontally to make 2 layers. Place 1 cake layer on plate; moisten generously with coffee syrup, then spread with about 1 cup of the filling. Repeat with remaining 3 cake layers. Spread remaining filling over top and side of cake.
• Sprinkle cocoa over cake. Arrange coffee beans around top edge of cake. Sprinkle chopped chocolate around bottom edge of cake. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
