Description
Lemon Truffles are delightful bite-sized treats that combine creamy lemon flavors with a sweet coating, making them irresistible and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz cream cheese or coconut butter
- 2 tbsp butter or additional coconut butter
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar or erythritol
- Zest of one lemon
- 3 oz white chocolate chips (optional)
- Optional: a drop of natural food coloring or a pinch of turmeric
Instructions
- Ensure the cream cheese (or coconut butter) and butter are at room temperature to soften.
- In a bowl, blend all ingredients except the white chocolate. Using a hand mixer will give the smoothest texture, though mixing with a fork works as well.
- Once mixed, you can either spread the mixture into a container and freeze until firm, then cut into bars or squares.
- Alternatively, freeze for a few minutes until firm enough to scoop into balls using a mini cookie scoop. Place scoops on a parchment-lined plate and freeze until solid.
- If desired, dip the truffles in melted white chocolate or coconut butter. For smoother coating, stir in ½ tsp of oil after melting the chocolate (optional).
- To achieve a look similar to the photos, cut each truffle in half once the chocolate has set.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer for freshness.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use coconut butter and erythritol.
- Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of powdered sugar or erythritol according to your taste.
- Experiment with different types of food coloring for a fun presentation.
