Ingredients
  

Chocolate & Dairy
  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
Flavorings
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweetener & Coating
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Extra for coating powdered sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
  2. Stir in the chopped white chocolate until it melts completely and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until well combined.
  4. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 1 hour or until firm.
Shaping
  1. Once firm, scoop out small portions and roll them into balls using your hands.
Coating and Final Chill
  1. Roll the truffles in powdered sugar to coat, then refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Chill thoroughly before rolling to prevent sticky hands and uneven shapes. Melt chocolate gently over low heat or a double boiler to avoid seizing. Use finely powdered sugar for a smooth, even coating. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep texture. If the mixture is too soft, return to the fridge for 15–30 minutes to firm up.
