Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups ladyfinger crumbs about 12-14 ladyfingers, crushed
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brewed espresso or strong coffee cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate melted (optional, for coating)
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder optional, for dusting

Method
 

  1. Make the Mixture:In a large bowl, combine ladyfinger crumbs, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, espresso, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until everything is fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
  2. Form Truffles:Scoop out small portions and roll into 1-inch balls using your hands. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Chill:Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Coat:Once chilled, either dip the truffles in melted chocolate and let set, or dust them lightly with cocoa powder for a classic finish.
  5. Serve:Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • Alternative Coatings: Roll truffles in crushed nuts, sprinkles, or powdered sugar for variation.
  • Alcohol Option: Add a splash of coffee liqueur like Kahlúa for an adult twist.
  • Make-Ahead: Truffles can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored chilled.
  • Texture Tip: For smoother truffles, pulse the ladyfingers in a food processor until finely ground.
