No-Bake Tiramisu Bites are bite-sized, elegant treats that capture all the flavors of classic tiramisu without the oven. Soft cocoa cookie shells sandwich a creamy mascarpone filling with espresso notes, finished with a dusting of cocoa—perfect for parties or make-ahead desserts.

Ingredients

1 cup finely crushed chocolate sponge cake crumbs or soft cocoa cookies (not graham crackers)

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed)

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons whole milk or brewed espresso

2 tablespoons neutral oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup cold mascarpone cheese

1/2 cup cold heavy cream

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional)

Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine chocolate sponge crumbs, almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed and lump-free.
  2. Add milk (or espresso), oil, and vanilla. Stir with a spatula until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  3. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a dome. Flatten the base so it sits upright. Repeat to make pairs, place on a parchment-lined tray, and chill 15 minutes.
  4. In a cold bowl, beat mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and espresso powder (if using) on medium speed until thick and fluffy with soft peaks. Do not overwhip.
  5. Pipe or spoon about 1 teaspoon filling onto the flat side of half the domes. Cap with the remaining domes and press gently to seal. Chill 20 minutes to set.
  6. Dust lightly with unsweetened cocoa powder just before serving. Keep chilled.

Notes

If dough is too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons extra milk or espresso.

If dough is too sticky, chill for 10 minutes or lightly oil hands before shaping.

Use espresso in the shells and filling for a bolder coffee flavor.

Dip chilled bites in melted dark chocolate for a decadent finish.

Assemble up to 24 hours ahead and dust with cocoa before serving.
