🍋 Ingredients:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- ÂĽ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest (plus more for garnish, optional)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: powdered sugar, shredded coconut, or crushed graham crackers for rolling
🥄 Instructions:
1. Melt the White Chocolate:
In a heatproof bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted. (Alternatively, use a double boiler.)
2. Add the Flavor:
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of salt. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated and silky.
3. Chill the Mixture:
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
4. Shape the Truffles:
Use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to form bite-sized balls. Roll them quickly between your hands to smooth them out. (If the mixture is too sticky, lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar.)
