Description
Zesty 4-Ingredient Lemon Truffles are a must-try treat that combines the sweetness of white chocolate with the refreshing tang of lemon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
- 1 tbsp lemon zest (fresh)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- Optional for coating: powdered sugar or fine coconut flakes
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: In a heat-proof bowl, heat white chocolate chips and cream together over a double boiler (or microwave in 20-second bursts).
- Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Add lemon flavor: Stir in the lemon zest and juice until fully combined. The mixture will thicken slightly — this is perfect.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll.
- Shape & coat: Scoop small portions (about 1 tbsp) and roll into balls. Coat each truffle in powdered sugar (or coconut for texture).
- Serve or store: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
Notes
- Ensure the lemon zest is fresh for the best flavor.
- These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Experiment with different coatings for variety.
