Method
Preparation
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Don't let it boil!
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, then add the chopped white chocolate. Allow it to sit for a few moments to soften, then stir until smooth and completely melted.
- Incorporate the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until it is set enough to shape.
Shaping and Coating
- Once the mixture is firm, use your hands (lightly dusted with powdered sugar if desired) to scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Roll the formed truffles in cocoa powder or graham cracker crumbs until they’re completely coated.
- Place the coated truffles in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
These truffles can be made with dark chocolate for a richer flavor. They are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for up to 3 months. Allow them to thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
