Description
Delightful Creamy Lemon Truffles made with cream cheese and the zesty flavor of lemon, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese (or coconut butter for dairy-free)
- 2 tbsp butter (or extra coconut butter for plant-based)
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar (or erythritol for keto-friendly)
- Zest of one lemon (fresh for best flavor)
- 3 oz white chocolate chips (optional, for coating)
- Optional: A drop of natural yellow food coloring or a pinch of turmeric
Instructions
- Bring the cream cheese and butter to room temperature until softened.
- Blend all ingredients except the white chocolate using a hand mixer for the smoothest results.
- Spread the mixture into a small container or freeze for a few minutes until firm enough to scoop into balls.
- Use a mini cookie scoop to form balls and place them on a parchment-lined plate. Freeze until firm.
- If using, melt the white chocolate and stir in ½ teaspoon of oil for a smoother coating.
- Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate and place back on the parchment paper. Allow to set.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, cut each truffle in half for bite-sized treats.
- Store in the refrigerator or freezer for freshness.
Notes
For added texture and flavor, roll the truffles in crushed nuts or shredded coconut. Make sure to use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor.
