Ingredients:
- 300g Ladyfingers or Petite Biscuits
- 2 heaping tbsp Labneh cheese
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 70ml filtered coffee (a little more than half a teacup)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
For Filling:
- Nutella
For Coating:
- Cocoa powder
Instructions:
- Place half-teaspoon amounts of Nutella on a piece of parchment paper and freeze for 20 minutes to harden.
- Crush the biscuits in a food processor until fine. Mix in labneh, coffee, vanilla extract (if using), and powdered sugar to create a dough.
- Take walnut-sized portions of the dough, flatten slightly, place a piece of frozen Nutella in the center, and enclose it by shaping into a ball.
- Roll each ball in cocoa powder and set aside.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture. You can also leave some without the Nutella filling if desired.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving.
Pro Tips:
- For a different flavor, roll the balls in desiccated coconut or crushed hazelnuts instead of cocoa powder.
- Ensure the Nutella is well frozen to make the process mess-free.
- Adjust the amount of coffee based on your taste preference.
