Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 1 cup white chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Coating
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Melting the Chocolate Mixture: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate, heavy cream, and unsalted butter together, stirring constantly until the mixture is completely smooth and well blended.
- Adding Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until all ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
- Chilling the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a shallow bowl and refrigerate for about 1 to 2 hours, or until it firms up enough to scoop comfortably without losing shape.
- Forming the Truffles: Once the mixture is fully set, use a teaspoon or melon baller to scoop out small portions, then roll each portion into a smooth ball using your hands.
- Coating the Truffles: Roll each formed truffle in powdered sugar to evenly coat the outside, giving them a delicate, sweet finish.
- Final Setting: Place the coated truffles back in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving to let them fully set and firm up.
Notes
- Use good quality white chocolate for best flavor and smooth texture.
- Make sure the mixture is completely cooled before rolling to prevent sticking.
- You can store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For an extra lemony zest, add more lemon zest or a drop more lemon juice to the mixture.
- Powdered sugar can be substituted with finely shredded coconut or white cocoa powder for a different coating.
