Ingredients
  

Cream Mixture
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese full-fat for best texture, room temperature helps it blend
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream cold
  • 1/4 cup espresso coffee cooled, strong brewed espresso or very strong coffee
  • 2 tablespoons sugar adjust to taste, powdered sugar is fine for extra smoothness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Rolling Ingredients
  • 1 cup crushed ladyfinger cookies about 10-12 whole ladyfingers, grind coarsely for some crunch
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for rolling
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips for rolling and a bit of texture

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chill a mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10 minutes (optional).
  2. In the chilled bowl, combine mascarpone, heavy cream, cooled espresso, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and holds soft peaks (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Gently fold in the crushed ladyfinger cookies with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm the mixture.
Shaping and Coating
  1. Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or teaspoon to portion out small amounts (about 1 tablespoon each). Roll quickly between your palms to form smooth balls.
  2. Place cocoa powder and chocolate chips in two shallow bowls. Roll each ball first in cocoa powder, then press gently into chocolate chips.
  3. Arrange coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to set.
Serving
  1. Serve chilled and enjoy!
