Ingredients

• 1 cup light cream cheese or low-fat mascarpone, softened
• ¼ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp espresso or strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or sugar-free sweetener
• ½ cup ladyfinger crumbs (or light graham cracker crumbs)
• ½ cup almond flour (or finely ground oats)
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for rolling)
• Optional: pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder for garnish

Instructions

1. Mix the Filling
In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, yogurt, vanilla, espresso, and maple syrup until smooth and creamy.

2. Add the Dry Ingredients
Fold in the ladyfinger crumbs and almond flour. Mix until a soft dough forms that holds together when pressed. If too soft, refrigerate for 10–15 minutes.

3. Shape into Truffles
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.

4. Coat with Cocoa
Roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly coated. Dust with cinnamon or extra cocoa if desired.

5. Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge.
