Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for coating
For those of you who might not have white chocolate chips on hand, you can easily substitute with a white chocolate bar, just make sure to chop it into small pieces for easy melting. And if you’re looking to add a bit of flair, a dash of finely chopped mint leaves can add a refreshing touch that pairs beautifully with the lemon.
Instructions
- Start by placing the white chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Add in the lemon zest, freshly squeezed lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until everything is well combined, and the mixture is creamy and fragrant.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
- Once set, use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to form small balls of the mixture. Roll each ball between your hands to smooth them out.
- Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the sugar until completely coated. This step not only adds a touch of sweetness but also gives the truffles a lovely, finished look.
- Transfer the truffles to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set.
- Enjoy your homemade Delicious Lemon Truffles, sharing them with friends and family or savoring them alongside your favorite tea.
From my own experience, patience is key—allowing the mixture to chill thoroughly ensures the truffles hold their shape beautifully, making them a delight to present at gatherings.
