Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of mascarpone cheese and 4 ounces of softened cream cheese using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add ½ cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of instant espresso powder to the cream mixture. Continue mixing until all ingredients are well incorporated, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup of ladyfinger crumbs and optionally, 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate shavings using a spatula.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. With damp hands, scoop out portions of the chilled mixture, about 1 inch in diameter, and roll them into smooth balls.
  6. Place the rolled truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and dust each truffle with unsweetened cocoa powder.
  7. Chill the dusted truffles in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
