# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Brew 240 milliliters of strong espresso or coffee and allow it to cool completely.
02 - In a chilled bowl, whip 240 milliliters of heavy cream until soft peaks form, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
03 - Combine 225 grams of mascarpone cheese, 120 grams of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 120 milliliters of cooled coffee in a separate bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
04 - Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula, preserving the airy texture.
05 - Add 200 grams of crushed ladyfinger cookies to the mixture and fold until evenly combined.
06 - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours to firm up the mixture.
07 - Use a small scoop or hands slightly moistened with water to form approximately 1 inch diameter balls from the chilled mixture.
08 - Roll each truffle evenly in cocoa powder to finish.
09 - Arrange the truffles on a serving platter and enjoy immediately or store refrigerated until serving.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Ensure the coffee is cooled before mixing to prevent melting the mascarpone. Chilling the mixture for at least two hours improves texture and flavor melding.
