White Chocolate Lemon Truffles are sweet citrusy dessert balls made with dense lemony flavors and coated in powdered sugar. Make these for a light and refreshing afternoon treat, or dessert for springtime meals. They’re especially appropriate for Easter, Mother’s Day, or Father’s Day, when the weather is warm and everyone’s craving a bright hit of sweetness.
Make this recipe by combining melted white chocolate with lemon, butter, and whipping cream for a dense and moist cookie ball you won’t be able to stop eating.
How to make White Chocolate Lemon Truffles
To make these adorable desserts, start by setting up the white chocolate, lemon extract, and a bit of yellow food coloring, if you like, in a heat-proof bowl.
Next, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the zest from one lemon and stir until the butter is fully melted.
Stir heavy cream into the melted butter, whisking constantly and bringing to a simmer. As soon as you see many bubbles on the surface of the liquid, turn off the heat and pour the hot cream over the white chocolate chips in the bowl. The heat from the cream will melt the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is totally melted and creamy.
Now, let this mixture cool fully in the fridge. It should harden and becom firm. You’ll use this firm mixture to scoop out small truffle-sized balls. Roll them in your hands to make the balls smooth on all sides. If you like, dust them with confectioner’s sugar and chill them again before serving for another hour.
