Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the truffles
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup chocolate wafer cookies, finely crushed
  • ½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • as needed Cocoa powder, for rolling
  • as needed Chocolate shavings or espresso beans (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Brew and cool the coffee beforehand.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add the finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies to the mascarpone mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
  4. Slowly mix in the cooled coffee until you achieve a cohesive mixture.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  6. Once chilled, use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture and roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  7. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Return the truffles to the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to firm up before serving.
  9. If desired, sprinkle with chocolate shavings or espresso beans before serving.

Notes
