Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips ( – 180 g)
- 1/4 cup butter (- 60 g)
- 1 big pinch salt
- 2 tbsp lemon zest (2 lemons )
- 3 tbsp. heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract (optional)
- 2–3 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar for rolling
- a couple drops lemon extract
Instructions
- Place the white chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and salt with the lemon zest. Stir in the heavy cream and heat the mixture until almost boiling. Pour the hot cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve directly over the white chocolate chips. Add the vanilla paste or essence and optional food coloring, then stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Cover the truffle mixture and refrigerate until the mixture is firm enough to shape into balls, about 30 minutes to 1 h.
- Scoop heaping teaspoonfuls of the chocolate chip mixture and form into balls. Roll the balls in the powdered sugar. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- Refrigerate the mixture until firm enough to shape, which can take 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- For best taste and texture, chill the formed truffles for at least 30 minutes before serving.
