Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz 225 g ladyfingers (or sponge fingers), finely crushed
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed espresso cooled
  • 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz 225 g white chocolate or candy coating, melted (for dipping)
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Method
 

  1. Crush the Ladyfingers: Place ladyfingers in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Alternatively, crush them in a sealed bag using a rolling pin.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, espresso, coffee liqueur, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine: Stir in the crushed ladyfingers until a soft, uniform dough forms. It should hold together when rolled.
  4. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30–45 minutes, until firm enough to shape.
  5. Shape and Coat: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions, roll into balls, then dip in melted white chocolate. Place on parchment-lined trays and dust with cocoa powder. Chill until set.

Notes

  • Use strong espresso for the best flavor and texture.
  • If the mixture is too soft to roll, add more crushed ladyfingers; if too dry, add a splash of espresso.
  • You can substitute dark or semisweet chocolate for a richer coating.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Allow to chill fully before dipping to prevent the truffles from falling apart.
