Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Truffle Filling:
    • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
    • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (finely grated)
    • 2 cups (340g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • For the Coating:
    • 2 cups (340g) white chocolate chips or candy melts
    • Yellow sprinkles or powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Truffle Filling:
    • Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer (do not boil).
    • Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Let sit for 1-2 minutes.
    • Add the white chocolate and butter to the saucepan, stirring until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
    • Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
  2. Form the Truffles:
    • Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to form the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll between your palms to smooth. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    • Freeze the truffle balls for 30 minutes to firm them up for coating.
  3. Coat the Truffles:
    • Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
    • Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
    • Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet and decorate with sprinkles or dust with powdered sugar if desired.
  4. Set and Serve:
    • Let the truffles set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
    • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • You can add a few drops of yellow food coloring to the melted chocolate for a fun lemony look.
  • For an extra tangy kick, dust the finished truffles with a mixture of powdered sugar and citric acid.
