Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium-low heat until the butter melts and the mixture begins to simmer. Remove from heat immediately.
  • Pour the warm cream mixture over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir gently until smooth and fully melted.
  • Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture. Mix until well combined.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
  • Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. Work quickly to prevent melting.
  • Roll each truffle in powdered sugar to coat evenly. For extra presentation, garnish with a small pinch of lemon zest on top.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

For a stronger lemon flavor, increase the amount of lemon zest slightly. Ensure your hands are cold when rolling the truffles to prevent melting.
