Description
Indulge in creamy lemon truffles, a delightful treat that combines rich white chocolate with zesty lemon flavors, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Zest of 2 lemons (about 2 tbsp)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp refined coconut oil
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped white chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in short bursts of 30 seconds, stirring in between until melted and smooth.
- Add Cream and Flavorings: Stir in heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and powdered sugar until fully combined. The mixture should be glossy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about two hours or until firm enough to scoop.
- Form the Truffles: Using a small scoop or spoon, portion out the chilled mixture into balls about an inch in diameter. Roll them quickly between your hands to form smooth spheres.
- Coat the Truffles: Roll each truffle in additional powdered sugar or finely chopped nuts for added flavor and texture. Place them on parchment paper and refrigerate again until fully set.
- Serve or Store: Transfer your truffles to plates or gift boxes once set, and enjoy!
