Description

These creamy lemon truffles are a delightful no-bake treat, perfect for any occasion. They combine the bright zest of fresh lemons with smooth white chocolate and rich cream cheese, all rolled in a delicate powdered sugar coating. Easy to make and wonderful for gifting, these truffles capture the essence of sunshine in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 10 oz white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
  2. Mix in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt until well incorporated.
  3. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  4. Pour the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture and beat on low speed until fully blended into a thick, glossy, and creamy mixture.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop and roll.
  6. Scoop out the chilled mixture and roll into smooth balls between your palms to form truffles.
  7. Roll each truffle in powdered sugar for a delicate finish.
  8. Refrigerate the truffles for another 15-30 minutes to help them set fully.

Notes

  • For a different flavor profile, substitute orange zest and juice for a creamsicle taste, or lime for a tangier option.
  • These truffles freeze well. Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
