Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Espresso or strong coffee (cooled)
- 150 grams Ladyfingers (crushed into crumbs)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Instant espresso powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the cooled espresso or strong coffee until fully incorporated.
Add the crushed ladyfingers to the mascarpone mixture and mix until a thick, moldable dough forms. If the mixture is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a ball with your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used, placing each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes or until firm.
Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the truffle out and let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all the truffles are coated, dust them lightly with cocoa powder and optional espresso powder for garnish.
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for another 15 minutes or until the chocolate coating is set.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
