Description

These silky Lemon Cream Truffles are a melt-in-your-mouth treat with a delicate citrus flavor. Coated in powdered sugar or crystal sprinkles, they make the perfect homemade gift or elegant dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz white chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract

ย 

  • Powdered sugar or granulated sugar, for coating

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Mixture:

    • Add white chocolate to a heatproof bowl. Place butter on top. Set aside.
  2. Heat the Cream:

    • In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to bubble.
    • Remove from heat and whisk in lemon extract.
  3. Combine Ingredients:

    • Pour the warm cream over the white chocolate mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or use an immersion blender until smooth.
  4. Chill the Mixture:

    • Cover the surface of the ganache with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a film from forming.
    • Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 6-8 hours, or until firm.
  5. Shape the Truffles:

    • Place powdered sugar in one bowl and granulated sugar in another (or choose just one).
    • Use a melon baller or sturdy half-round measuring spoon to scoop small portions of the ganache.
    • Roll into smooth balls with clean hands.
  6. Coat and Store:

    • Roll each truffle in either powdered sugar or crystal sugar until fully coated.
    • Transfer to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Notes
