The German women's magazine Freundin has featured a recipe for no-bake tiramisu balls, positioning them as a decadent and unforgettable treat suitable for hosting guests during chilly weather or casual gatherings. The recipe emphasizes ease of preparation, requiring less than 20 minutes to make, making it an accessible option for those who want to serve a special dessert without the need for baking. The formulation includes 175 grams of ladyfingers, 150 grams of mascarpone cheese, a tablespoon of powdered sugar, and 30 milliliters of espresso, which can be substituted with very strong filter coffee. For the coating, the recipe calls for 75 grams of cocoa powder, allowing for a mix of regular and baking cocoa to balance bitterness and sweetness. The preparation involves crumbling the ladyfingers either in a food processor or by crushing them in a bag with a rolling pin. The mascarpone, powdered sugar, and espresso are then mixed with the crumbs until a soft, moldable dough forms. Small tea-spoon-sized balls are shaped from the mixture, rolled in cocoa powder until evenly coated, and repeated until all dough is used. Excess cocoa is shaken off using a sieve, and the balls are chilled in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up and allow flavors to meld before serving. As an optional addition for adult guests, a shot of Amaretto almond liqueur can be stirred into the dough. [1]
