A recipe from cooking-ez.com

For 6 pieces, you will need:

• 1 250 g finger biscuits
• 2 200 g Mascarpone

• 4 80 g cold coffee
• 5 1 tablespoon Marsala (optional)
• 6 30 g powdered cocoa
• Total weight: 575 grams

Times:

Preparation
25 min.

Step by step recipe

1	Put 250 g finger biscuits in a food processor...
2	...and grind them to a fine powder. Repeat if necessary.
3	Pour the powder into a salad bowl, add 200 g Mascarpone, 1 tablespoon icing sugar, 80 g cold coffee and possibly 1 tablespoon Marsala.
4	Mix by hand...
5	...until you obtain a homogeneous paste.
6	Cut the dough into 90-100g pieces.
7	Roll the dough into a ball between your hands...
8	...and place them as you go on a baking sheet. Place in the fridge, covered with cling film.
9	A few minutes before serving, roll the balls in cocoa powder...
10	...and tap to remove excess.
11	Do this for each ball, then serve within half an hour, otherwise the cocoa will moisten and turn a very dark brown, far less appetizing.

Remarks

You can replace the sponge cookies with boudoirs.
This is a recipe that can easily be made into filled balls: As you roll them, insert a small piece of fruit purée or jam (for example) in the middle, which you've hardened in the freezer in small heaps.
