Description

These creamy and tangy lemon truffles are a refreshing no-bake treat made with white chocolate and a burst of citrus flavor.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)


Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream and butter over medium heat until just simmering.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate chips until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until combined.
  4. Refrigerate the mixture for 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
  5. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out small portions and roll into balls.
  6. Roll each truffle in powdered sugar to coat.
  7. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For extra lemon flavor, add a few drops of lemon extract.
  • Coating can also be done with finely shredded coconut or crushed cookies.
