Zest of 1 lemon (plus extra for garnish)

Make the Filling: In a saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips, butter, and heavy cream. Stir continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in lemon extract and lemon zest.
-
Add Texture (Optional): For a firmer center, mix in crushed vanilla wafers or shortbread. This step adds a delicious bite to the creamy truffles.

Form Truffles: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 15 minutes.
-
Coat with Chocolate: Melt more white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Dip each truffle and place them back on the tray. Drizzle with extra melted chocolate and sprinkle with lemon zest for a stunning finish.
-
Set and Serve: Refrigerate until firm. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy lemon burst with every bite!
💡 Tips:
-
Add a pinch of sea salt to the white chocolate coating for contrast.
