Lemon White Chocolate Truffles Recipe
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 15
Ingredients:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (180 g)
- ¼ cup butter (60 g)
- 1 big pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract (optional)
- 2-3 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions:
- Place the white chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and salt with the lemon zest. Stir in the heavy cream and heat the mixture until almost boiling. Pour the hot cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve directly over the white chocolate chips. Add the vanilla paste or extract and optional food coloring, then stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Cover the truffle mixture and refrigerate until firm enough to shape into balls, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Scoop heaping teaspoonfuls of the chocolate mixture and form them into balls. Roll the balls in powdered sugar. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.
