White Chocolate Lemon Truffles

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 tbsp. heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp. lemon extract
  • 2-3 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

Begin by placing the white chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl, setting them aside for later use.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter along with the vibrant zest of a lemon, infusing it with a burst of citrus flavor. Stir in the heavy cream and heat the mixture until it is just about to boil, ensuring all the flavors meld together perfectly.

Carefully pour the cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve over the waiting white chocolate chips. Add the lemon extract and, if desired, a few drops of yellow food coloring to enhance the visual appeal. Stir the mixture until it achieves a smooth and velvety texture, ensuring all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill, allowing the chocolate mixture to firm up for approximately 30 minutes. This step is crucial for shaping the truffles later on.

Once the mixture has reached the desired consistency, use a teaspoon to scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into small, delightful balls. For an extra touch of sweetness, coat the truffles generously with powdered sugar, ensuring each one is evenly coated.

Place the finished truffles on a tray and return them to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.

Finally, once the truffles are firm and chilled, they are ready to be savored and enjoyed. Serve them as a delightful dessert or indulge in them as a sweet treat any time of day.
