Description
Lemon truffles are delightful bite-sized treats that combine the creamy richness of cream cheese with the zesty brightness of fresh lemons, rolled into small balls and coated in smooth white chocolate.
Ingredients
- Cream cheese: 8 oz (softened)
- Powdered sugar: 1 cup
- Lemon zest: 2 tablespoons (freshly grated)
- Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed)
- Graham cracker crumbs: 1 cup (plus extra for dusting)
- White chocolate: 8 oz (chopped or in chips)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients for lemon truffles.
- Prepare the base by combining softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl and blend until smooth.
- Add freshly grated lemon zest and lemon juice to the mixture and mix well.
- Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt the white chocolate and coat each truffle, letting excess chocolate drip off, then roll in graham cracker crumbs.
- Chill the coated truffles until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor.
- Chill the mixture before shaping to help the truffles hold their shape.
- Be careful not to overmix the cream cheese mixture.
- Melt white chocolate in short intervals to prevent burning.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
