Ingredients
Scale
225 g of white chocolate, finely chopped
80 ml of heavy cream (or dairy-free coconut cream)
2 teaspoons of lemon zest, finely grated
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
14 g of unsalted butter, at room temperature
0.25 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of powdered sugar for coating
1 teaspoon of extra lemon zest for coating
2 tablespoons of finely chopped pistachios for coating
2 tablespoons of shredded coconut for coating
1 tablespoon of melted white chocolate for drips
Instructions
Set up your ganache: place the chopped white chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the cream until just barely simmering, with tiny bubbles around the edge. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1–2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
Flavor bloom: stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla (if using), and a pinch of salt. Add the butter and whisk until fully incorporated and silky. The ganache should look velvety and bright.
Chill until firm: cover and refrigerate the ganache for 60–90 minutes, or until it’s scoopable and holds its shape when pressed.
Scoop and roll: using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop portions and roll between your palms to form neat 1-inch spheres. If the ganache sticks to your hands, chill for 10–15 minutes and try again.
Coat and finish: roll the truffles in your chosen coating (powdered sugar, extra zest, pistachios, or shredded coconut). For a glossy shell, you can dip them in melted white chocolate and let the coating set on parchment.
Chill to set: place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate 15–20 minutes to set completely. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a softer center.
Notes
Bright white chocolate lemon truffles with a tangy lemon note, rolled in a citrus-kissed coating. A quick, make-ahead dessert with a glossy ganache center and a bite-sized, sunlit finish.
