Servings:
12 truffles
Ingredients
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
  1. Add 1 cup white chocolate chips, butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice to a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. Add the heavy cream to a small saucepan and heat over low heat until small bubbles start to form but the cream is still not boiling.
  3. Pour the cream into the bowl with the chocolate chips and butter.
  4. Stir until everything melts into a smooth texture. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
  5. Add the remaining 1 cup white chocolate chips and vegetable oil to a small bowl.
  6. Heat in the microwave in 15 second increments until melted and smooth. Stir in 1–2 drops of yellow food coloring, if desired.
  7. Use a 1-inch cookie scoop to scoop out balls of the lemon truffle mixture.
  8. Drop the lemon truffles into the melted chocolate and coat them in the chocolate.
  9. Use a slotted spoon or spatula to put the truffles on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Add sprinkles before the chocolate sets, if desired.
  10. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes to set, then serve.
