Calories: 89kcal
Ingredients
- 12 ladyfinger cookies about 7 oz, crushed into fine crumbs
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar plus more for garnish
- ¼ cup strong coffee or espresso
- ½ cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder for coating
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed ladyfinger cookies, powdered sugar, coffee, mascarpone cheese, and vanilla extract. Mix well until a dough forms.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into small balls with your hands. You should have about 12-14 truffles.
- Roll each truffle in cocoa powder to coat completely. For a decorative touch, dust with additional powdered sugar.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes before serving. These can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
-
- Add a splash of almond extract or Kahlua for extra flavor.
- Drizzle the finished truffles with melted chocolate or melted white chocolate.
- Swap the mascarpone with cream cheese if needed, but you may need to add a bit more coffee if the mixture is too thick.
- Crushing the ladyfingers: A food processor works best for creating fine crumbs, but you can also place them in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Make ahead: Both the batter and assembled truffles can be made up to 3 days in advance.
- Uniform truffles: Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized truffles.
