These delightful lemon truffles are creamy, tangy, and sweet—a perfect bite-sized treat for any occasion. Easy to make with a burst of citrus flavor in every bite!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 8 oz (225g) white chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
- Optional: yellow food coloring
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ganache:
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer (do not boil). Remove from heat and pour it over the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir until smooth. - Add Flavorings:
Stir in the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a few drops of yellow food coloring if using. Mix well until fully combined. - Chill the Mixture:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop. - Shape the Truffles:
Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the ganache. Roll each portion into a ball with your hands. - Coat the Truffles:
Roll the truffles in powdered sugar until fully coated. For an extra touch, you can double-coat them for a thicker sugary layer. - Chill Again:
Place the coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set. - Serve or Store:
Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
These lemon truffles make a perfect gift or party treat—sweet, tangy, and absolutely irresistible!
