These delightful lemon truffles are a sweet and tangy treat, perfect for parties or a quick dessert. Their creamy texture and bright lemony flavor make them irresistible!
Ingredients:
- 8 oz (225g) white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar or crushed cookies (for coating)
Instructions:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the white chocolate, heavy cream, and butter. Melt the mixture gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated.
- Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, pressing it against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until firm.
- Once firm, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the truffle mixture. Roll each portion into a ball using your hands.
- Roll the truffles in powdered sugar or crushed cookies for a decorative coating.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
