Ingredients
  

Truffle Mixture
  • 1 cup Mascarpone cheese Smooth and rich for creamy texture.

  • 2 cups Ladyfingers or vanilla cookies Crushed for the base.

  3. Blend the ingredients with a spoon or hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the crushed cookie crumbs to the mascarpone mixture and stir gently until combined.

Chilling and Coating
