LEMON TRUFFLES

LEMON TRUFFLES 🍋💛

These little bites of sunshine are creamy, zesty, and ridiculously easy to make with just a handful of ingredients! No fancy kitchen gadgets required—just pure, melt-in-your-mouth citrus perfection.

Prep time: 30 mins | Chilling time: 2 hrs | Yields approx. 20-25 truffles

🛒 Ingredients:

 * 170 g White chocolate, finely chopped (or white chocolate chips)

 * 40 ml (approx. 2.5 tbsp) Heavy cream (or a rich plant-based cream alternative)

 * 50 g Butter, softened (or vegan butter alternative)

 * 1 organic lemon – freshly grated zest (and a splash of juice if you want an extra tang!)

 * A tiny pinch of turmeric (optional, for that gorgeous bright yellow color!)

 * 1 pinch of salt

 * Powdered sugar (icing sugar) – for rolling

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1️⃣ Infuse & Melt: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm together the butter, freshly grated lemon zest, turmeric, and a pinch of salt until the butter is completely melted.

2️⃣ Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture just up to a gentle boil.

3️⃣ Create the Ganache: Place your finely chopped white chocolate into a bowl. Pour the warm cream mixture through a fine-mesh strainer over the chocolate to catch the zest bits (or leave the zest in for extra texture if you prefer!). Let it sit for 1–2 minutes to melt the chocolate, then stir smoothly until completely combined and glossy.

4️⃣ Chill: Cover the bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.

5️⃣ Roll & Coat: Scoop out small portions (about 1 teaspoon each) using a spoon or a small melon baller, quickly roll them into smooth balls between your palms, and immediately toss them in powdered sugar until nicely coated!

💛 Storage: Keep them stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They make amazing gifts or sweet treats for your afternoon coffee break! ☕️
