Mimosa truffles with mascarpone and white chocolate, super simple and delicious treats to enjoy in good company, perfect for celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8th.
In reality, these sweets, which require very little cooking, are perfect to serve on any occasion because they are truly fresh and delightful.
Of course, they’re not light and no, you can’t replace mascarpone with other ingredients because it would compromise the recipe’s structure.
For me, International Women’s Day is an intimate moment to share with a select few friends, more to celebrate our small successes, our achievements, or to discuss our problems than for the commercial aspect of the occasion.
So I’ll take advantage of this day to spend it with my friends and my daughter.

Steps
To make the Mimosa Truffles with Mascarpone and White Chocolate, first melt the white chocolate.
You can do this using the bain-marie technique or with the microwave at 800W for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, in several intervals.
Let it cool slightly.
Meanwhile, soften the mascarpone in a bowl with a fork.
Add the melted white chocolate, mix well, and let it rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator after covering the bowl with plastic wrap.
Place the plain cookies in a mixer and blend them to obtain a rather fine powder.
Take the mixture that has rested in the refrigerator and form small balls by quickly working them with your hands.
Roll them in the crushed cookie base, ensuring they stick well, and let the truffles rest on a tray lined with parchment paper in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Decorate them as you wish if desired and serve.
Store them in the refrigerator in airtight jars for up to 48 hours.
