Chopped white chocolate. You can also use white chocolate chips, but I have found that chopped white chocolate melts much smoother than chips! Lemon flavor extract. This is easy to find at most local supermarkets or superstores. I tested this recipe using fresh lemon juice, and found that to really taste the lemon you needed to add at least 1 tablespoon of juice, which caused the white chocolate mixture to curdle slightly and stay too thin. The extract works perfectly since you don’t have to add too much! Yellow food coloring. You can use food coloring gel or liquid drops. Butter. Cut the butter into cubes for easy, and even melting. You can use either cold butter or room temperature and it’s your choice whether you use unsalted or salt (although I pretty much use salted butter). Heavy whipping cream. Don’t substitute milk for this. The heavy cream gives the truffles the texture and the richness they need! Powdered sugar. Rolling the truffles in sugar gives them a sweet, melty exterior, while preventing them from sticking.
Tips When Making Lemon Truffles
Variations:
Make these into Orange Cream Truffles or Lime Cream Truffles easily. Just sub out the citrus extract and the food color drops! Roll these in coarse or sparkling sugar for a pretty crunch, or even dip them in milk or semi-sweet chocolate. Add a little fresh lemon zest into the mixture when you melt everything together if you want a little extra citrus flavor. Just 1/2 tablespoon or so. If you add too much it can give your truffle a more bitter taste.
Do Truffles Need To Be Refrigerated / How To Store
I do recommend that you store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They are fine at room temperature for a while, but they will soften as they come up to room temperature. You can even freeze these truffles and they will be great!
