Steps to prepare Pavesini coffee and mascarpone truffles
To prepare Pavesini coffee and mascarpone truffles, first, prepare an espresso cup of coffee with either the coffee machine or the moka pot and set it aside. I used the coffee machine in this case; it should be slightly cooled (an espresso cup of about 1.7 oz of coffee). In a bowl, put the mascarpone and powdered sugar and mix everything, helping yourself with a wooden spoon. Once it has cooled, add the coffee and mix. Finely chop the coffee-flavored Pavesini using a food processor and add them to the mascarpone mixture a little at a time. Lastly, add 2 tablespoons of rum and mix well. Put in the fridge to rest for at least 1 hour.
Take the mixture out of the refrigerator, take a portion, and mold it between your hands (slightly moistened) to form balls. Now roll the balls in cocoa powder. You can choose unsweetened or sweetened cocoa to taste; I chose sweetened cocoa powder.
Then place your balls in paper cups on a plate or tray and put them back in the fridge until ready to serve. You can coat them with rainbow sprinkles, chocolate sprinkles, or simply roll them in cocoa powder.
