Recipe for Lemon Truffles

List of Items Needed:

• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (squeezed from fresh lemons)
• 1 cup of white chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup of heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• Zest of 2 lemons
• 2 cups of powdered sugar
• Optional: a few drops of yellow food coloring

Steps to Follow:

1. Make the Chocolate Mixture: Combine the white chocolate chips and butter in a heat-resistant bowl.
2. Warm the Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it starts to simmer.
3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and butter. Stir until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Enhance the Taste: Mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice until well combined.
5. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the chocolate mixture, stirring until smooth. If desired, add a few drops of yellow food coloring to brighten the color.
6. Cool Down: Refrigerate the mixture for about 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to handle.
7. Make Truffles: Once chilled, use a spoon or melon baller to scoop the mixture and shape it into small balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar to prevent sticking and add an extra touch of sweetness.
8. Final Step: Place the truffles on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to ensure they set properly.

Ideas for How to Serve:

• Presentation Tip: Sprinkle more powdered sugar on top or add lemon zest for a nice touch.
• Serving Suggestion: Enjoy with lemon sorbet or whipped cream for a tasty mix of flavors and textures.
• Gift Idea: Put these truffles in a pretty box or tin to create a special and personal present.
