Instructions

Make the Filling: In a large bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla until smooth. Add a few tablespoons of crushed ladyfingers to thicken slightly.
Form the Balls: Mix in the remaining crushed ladyfingers until a soft dough forms. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Chill: Refrigerate the balls for 30 minutes so they firm up before dipping.
Prepare the Coating: In a small saucepan or microwave, heat the dark chocolate and cream together until melted and smooth. Stir well.
Dip and Decorate: Using a fork, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, let the excess drip off, and place it back on the tray. Dust with cocoa powder while still wet.
Set and Serve: Let the chocolate coating harden in the fridge for another 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store the tiramisu bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze before coating for up to a month. For a twist, add a splash of coffee liqueur or fold in mini chocolate chips into the filling.
