by

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a heatproof bowl, add the white chocolate chips.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until just simmering.
  3. Pour the hot cream mixture over the white chocolate. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes to melt the chocolate.
  4. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla (if using), and salt. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
  6. Scoop small portions and roll into balls using your hands.
  7. Roll each truffle in powdered sugar to coat.
  8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Would you like a version with coconut or graham cracker crumbs for coating instead?
