lemon-truffles

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (or good-quality white chocolate, chopped)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
  • Optional: extra zest or yellow sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the cream is warm, but do not boil.
  2. Remove from heat and add the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
  3. Add the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until fully combined.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
  5. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the chilled mixture and roll into balls with your hands.
  6. Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  7. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 more minutes to set.
  8. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy chilled!
