Repeat if necessary.

Pour the powder into a salad bowl, add 200 ml Mascarpone, 1 tablespoon icing sugar, 80 ml cold coffee and possibly 1 tablespoon Marsala.
Stage 4 - 3 min.
Mix by hand...
Stage 5

Stage 6 - 5 min.
Cut the dough into 90-100g pieces.
Stage 7 - 5 min.
Roll the dough into a ball between your hands...
Stage 8

A few minutes before serving, roll the balls in cocoa powder...
Stage 10
...and tap to remove excess.

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.
