Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz white chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract

 

  • Powdered sugar or granulated sugar, for coating

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chocolate Mixture:

    • Place the white chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the Cream:

    • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to bubble. Remove from heat and whisk in the lemon extract.
  • Combine Ingredients:

    • Pour the warm cream over the white chocolate mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or use an immersion blender until smooth.
  • Chill the Mixture:

    • Cover the surface of the ganache with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a film from forming. Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 6-8 hours, or until firm.
  • Shape the Truffles:

    • Place powdered sugar or granulated sugar in a bowl. Use a melon baller or sturdy half-round measuring spoon to scoop small portions of the ganache. Roll into smooth balls with clean hands.

 

  • Coat and Store:

    • Roll each truffle in the sugar until fully coated. Transfer to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For an extra zesty flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of freshly grated lemon zest to the ganache mixture.
  • Ensure the ganache is well-chilled before rolling to maintain the truffle shape.

 

  • These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
