Instructions:
Prepare the Chocolate Mixture:
Combine the white chocolate chips and butter in a heat-resistant bowl.
Heat the Cream:
In a small saucepan, heat the cream until it begins to bubble (don’t let it boil).
Mix with Chocolate and Butter:
Pour the warm cream over the chocolate and butter mixture. Stir until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and smooth.
Enhance with Lemon Flavor:
Stir in the grated lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice, mixing well.
Incorporate the Powdered Sugar:
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the chocolate mixture, stirring until smooth. If you want a more vibrant color, add a few drops of yellow food coloring.
Chill the Mixture:
Refrigerate the mixture for about 2 hours or until it’s firm enough to handle.
Shape the Truffles:
Once chilled, use a spoon or small scoop to form the mixture into bite-sized balls. Roll each truffle in powdered sugar to prevent sticking and add a bit of extra sweetness.
Final Step:
Place the truffles on a tray and chill them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow them to harden properly.
Presentation & Serving Tips:
Finishing Touch: Dust with a little extra powdered sugar or a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving.
