Ingredients
- White chocolate
- Heavy cream
- Lemon zest
- Lemon juice
- Powdered sugar
- Cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate ganache: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate and heavy cream. Stir gently until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to let it boil!
- Add lemon flavor: Once the ganache is smooth, remove it from the heat. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice until well combined. The mixture should be fragrant and bright.
- Chill the mixture: Pour the ganache into a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
- Scoop and roll: Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out portions of the chilled ganache. Roll each scoop between your palms to form a ball.
- Coat the truffles: Roll each truffle in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or desiccated coconut, depending on your preference.
- Chill again: Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
- Serve and enjoy: Once they’re set, these creamy lemon truffles are ready to be enjoyed!
