• 2 tbsp brewed espresso (cooled)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate, melted

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, brewed espresso, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
2. Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Refrigerate the truffles for 1–2 hours, or until they are firm enough to hold their shape.
4. Dip each truffle into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Place the truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate to set.
5. Once the chocolate has hardened, roll each truffle in a thin layer of cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu finish.
