Ingredients

Servings
  • 16 oz white chocolate baking bars
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Yellow food coloring
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Break the white chocolate into smaller pieces and place the white chocolate In heat resistant bowl.  Place the butter on top of the chocolate in the bowl.  Set aside.
  2. Place the heavy whipping cream in a saucepan.  Heat over medium high heat (whisking occasionally) until the cream just starts to boil.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon extract and lemon zest.  Whisk until combined.
  4. Pour this mixture over the white chocolate and butter.  Stir with a large wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted and smooth.  Add in the yellow food coloring and stir until the mixture is a vibrant yellow color.
  5. Cover and refrigerate until the mixture is firm (1-2 hours).
  6. Remove from the refrigerator and shape into 1 inch balls.
  7. Roll the balls into the powdered sugar and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Continue this process until all the truffles are formed.
  8. Place the truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to use high quality chocolate for the best results for these lemon truffles.  
  • You can roll the truffles in sprinkles instead of the powdered sugar before serving if you prefer. 
  • Make sure that you stir the mixture with either a wooden spoon for the best results as it helps move the heat evenly throughout the mixture.  
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.
