Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Zest of two lemons
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate, finely chopped (for coating)
- Yellow food coloring (optional)
- Lemon zest or yellow sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Making the Truffle Filling: Combine white chocolate chips, butter, and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl. Melt the contents in a double boiler, stirring constantly until smooth. Mix in the lemon zest and juice thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Form the Truffles: Once the mixture has set, scoop tiny amounts and form them into round truffles with a melon baller or spoon. Refrigerate them for another hour on a parchment-lined pan.
- Make the Coating: Melt the white chocolate, which has been coarsely chopped. If desired, add yellow food coloring. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Replace them on the tray.
- Chill and decorate: Decorate the truffles with lemon zest or yellow sprinkles before the coating hardens. Refrigerate for 1 hour more, or until the coating is solid.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the Lemon Truffles on a serving plate after they have fully set.
