Brewed espresso (cooled)
Mascarpone cheese
Cocoa powder (for dusting)
Optional Add-ins:
Coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa or Tia Maria)
Dark chocolate shavings (for rolling or topping)
Powdered sugar (if additional sweetness is desired)
Instructions
Crush the ladyfingers in a food processor or sealed bag until finely ground.
In a bowl, mix mascarpone and cooled espresso until smooth. Add coffee liqueur if using.
Stir in the crushed ladyfingers and mix until it forms a thick, sticky dough.
If too soft, chill the mixture briefly or add more crumbs.
Scoop and roll into small balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop.
Roll or dust the balls in cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.
Chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to firm up (optional). Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For a sweeter result, mix in 1–2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
Swap mascarpone with cream cheese for a tangier flavor.
Roll in crushed cookies or drizzle with melted chocolate for variation.
Use decaf espresso for a kid-friendly version.
