Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups crushed ladyfingers
- ¼ cup coffee liqueur
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Combine Ladyfingers and Coffee Liqueur: In a bowl, mix the crushed ladyfingers and coffee liqueur until the mixture is moist and forms a dough-like consistency.
- Add Mascarpone and Sugar: Stir in the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Roll the Mixture: Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Chill: Place the truffles on a tray and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Coat with Cocoa Powder: Once chilled, roll each truffle in cocoa powder to coat evenly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the truffles set and enjoy them chilled.
Notes
- Flavor Variations: Experiment with different liqueurs like Irish whiskey or hazelnut liqueur for a unique twist on the flavor.
- Chocolate Coating: For an extra indulgent treat, dip the truffles in melted dark or milk chocolate instead of rolling in cocoa powder.
- Spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth and depth of flavor.
- Dairy-Free Version: Use a dairy-free mascarpone cheese and a plant-based coffee liqueur for a vegan-friendly version.
