Description

Creamy, tangy, and dusted in powdered sugar — these melt-in-your-mouth lemon truffles are as easy as they are irresistible.


Ingredients

  • White chocolate – 8 oz (225 g), chopped
  • Heavy cream – ½ cup
  • Fresh lemon juice – 2 tbsp
  • Fresh lemon zest – 1 tsp
  • Powdered sugar – ½ cup, for rolling

Instructions

  1. In a heatproof bowl, add chopped white chocolate.
  2. Heat cream until steaming (not boiling), then pour over chocolate. Stir until smooth.
  3. Mix in lemon juice and zest until creamy and fully combined.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours, until mixture is firm enough to scoop.
  5. Scoop spoonfuls of mixture, roll into balls, and coat in powdered sugar.
  6. Garnish with extra lemon zest and enjoy chilled!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream is hot but not boiling to avoid seizing the chocolate.
  • For a stronger lemon flavor, adjust the amount of lemon juice and zest to taste.
