Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • electric mixer
  • cookie scoop
  • microwave-safe bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

Mascarpone Cheese

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Brew a fresh cup of espresso and allow it to cool completely. Mix the cooled espresso with coffee liqueur, if using, and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3 to 5.
  • Dip chocolate cookie crumbs into the coffee mixture for a few seconds, then fold them into the mascarpone mixture gently.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30.
  • Scoop out bite-sized portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each truffle into the chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then dust with cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least 60.
