For 10 portions

Ingredients

240 g crushed cookies
230 g mascarpone
60 g powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cooled espresso
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
60 g melted dark chocolate
cocoa powder for coating

Preparation procedure

Base mixture: In a bowl, mix the crumbled cookies, mascarpone, powdered sugar, espresso, and vanilla extract. Stir until a compact mass forms. If the mixture is too soft, you can add a little more cookies as needed.
Shaping: Form small walnut-sized balls from the mixture. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chilling: Let the balls chill in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours, until they firm up and hold their shape.
Chocolate layer: Dip each ball into the melted dark chocolate and place it back on the parchment paper. Let the chocolate set.
Finishing: Coat the set balls in cocoa powder and store them in the refrigerator until serving.
