Tiramisu is a long time favorite of mine. Making mini desserts is a passion of mine. I already made a traditional mini tiramisu, so of course the next tiramisu recipe from me would be tiramisu cake balls!

Tiramisu is a long time favorite of mine. Making mini desserts is a passion of mine. I already made a traditional mini tiramisu, so of course the next tiramisu recipe from me would be tiramisu cake balls!

There really isn’t anything cute to me then a mini dessert. Plus, they are normally easier to make and serve. The presentation of a mini dessert just always looks nicer, in my opinion. Be it a cupcake, individual sized pie or cake ball!

For these cake balls, I really wanted to keep the traditional ingredients and flavors of tiramisu in tact. I used ladyfingers as the base. Mixed coffee, chocolate chips, kahlua (oh yea!) and mascarpone cheese as a binder. Mixed it all together, rolled them into balls, dipped in a vanilla candy coating and voila!

These are so good, crisp shell on the outside, moist cakey filling on the inside and topped off with a hint of cocoa powder. These cuties look so elegant and taste like the real deal!

Tiramisu Cake Balls

Tiramisu Cake Balls, the same flavors of traditional tiramisu, in bite sized candies!
Prep Time20 mins
Total Time20 mins
Servings: 18 -20 cake balls
Author: Dana at ThisSillyGirlsLife.com

Ingredients

  • 2 3 oz packages lady fingers
  • 1/4 Cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 Cup black coffee
  • 1/8 Cup brown sugar
  • 8 oz mascarpone
  • 3 Tablespoon kahlua optional
  • 1/8 Cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extrct
  • 16 oz vanilla candiquick
  • cocoa powder for garnish

Instructions

  • Place half of the ladyfingers in a food processor. Pulse to form crumbs. Place in a large bowl. Place remaining ladyfingers in the food processor with the chocolate chips. Pulse to form crumbs out of the cookies and break up the chocolate chips some. Place in the same bowl.
  • Place the hot brewed coffee in a small bowl, add in the brown sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to cool.
  • In a medium sized bowl, add in the mascarpone, coffee mix, kahlua, powdered sugar and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour wet mixture onto lady finger crumbs and mix with a spoon until combined. Taking a 1 Tablespoon sized scoop, scoop out balls onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Using your hands, roll into more uniform sized balls.
  • Place in freezer until frozen solid, I left them over night. Melt candiquick as directed on package, dip balls into candy and let the excess drip off. Place on parchment paper to harden. It is easier to do this step in batches.
  • Dust with cocoa powder, serve and enjoy! Any left overs must be refrigerated.

This recipe makes a very moist cake ball. If you like them more of a cake like interior, only use half of the wet mixture.
