1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp instant espresso powder or 2 tbsp strong brewed coffee
1.5 cups finely crushed ladyfingers
0.5 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (optional for coating)
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Optional: splash of coffee liqueur, white or milk chocolate for variety
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and espresso powder until smooth and creamy.
2. Fold in crushed ladyfingers until well combined and dough-like.
3. Chill mixture for 15–20 minutes if too soft.
4. Roll into tablespoon-sized balls and place on parchment-lined tray.
5. Optional: Dip truffles in melted dark chocolate and return to tray.
6. Dust with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
7. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
For the creamiest truffles, always use room temperature mascarpone.
Add more crushed ladyfingers if the mixture is too soft to roll.
Dust only after chilling to keep the cocoa layer from turning moist.
