Description
These lemon truffles prove that candy shops aren’t the only ones who can make fancy treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 18 ounces white baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- Coarse yellow sugar
- Confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Place the chopped white chocolate in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the heavy whipping cream and grated lemon zest just to a boil. Pour it over the chocolate, then let the mixture stand for three minutes. Stir with a whisk until smooth. Then, stir in the lemon extract.
- Pour the mixture into an 8-inch square pan. Chill for 20 minutes or until slightly hardened.
- Using a melon baller or spoon, scoop out and shape into 1-inch balls. Roll half the balls in the coarse yellow sugar; roll the remaining half in confectioners’ sugar.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- If your chocolate isn’t fully melted, place the bowl over a pan of warm water and stir gently until smooth.
- You don’t want the mixture to be rock solid, just firm enough to scoop.
- If the mixture gets too soft while shaping, pop it back in the fridge for a few minutes to firm up again.
