These No-Bake Gluten-Free Tiramisu Balls are rich, creamy, and coated in cocoa powder for the perfect bite-sized dessert. Made with certified gluten-free cookies, mascarpone cheese, espresso, and vanilla, they deliver all the classic flavors of traditional tiramisu without the gluten. Easy to prepare and requiring no baking, they’re perfect for holidays, parties, or whenever you want an elegant gluten-free treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (220g) certified gluten-free vanilla cookies or gluten-free ladyfingers, finely crushed
  • 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cooled brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream (if needed)
  • 1/3 cup certified gluten-free unsweetened cocoa powder for coating
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated dark chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Cookies: Blend the gluten-free cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or crush them in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Beat together mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
  3. Add Coffee: Mix in the cooled espresso until fully combined.
  4. Combine: Fold the cookie crumbs into the cheese mixture. If needed, add heavy cream until the mixture is soft but holds together.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to make rolling easier.
  6. Roll: Scoop about one tablespoon of mixture and roll into bite-sized balls.
  7. Coat: Roll each ball in certified gluten-free cocoa powder until evenly coated.
  8. Chill Again: Refrigerate for another 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with grated dark chocolate if desired.

Notes

Always use certified gluten-free cookies and cocoa powder to avoid cross-contamination. Chill the mixture well before rolling for the best texture. These tiramisu balls taste even better after resting overnight in the refrigerator and freeze beautifully for up to 2 months.
