These lemon truffles are a refreshing, bite-sized treat with creamy white chocolate and a burst of lemon flavor. Quick to make and irresistibly smooth, these zesty lemon truffles are perfect for spring gatherings, holiday platters, or any occasion when you crave a sweet citrus delight!

Ingredients

  • Coating: ½ cup powdered sugar (or extra white chocolate for dipping)

Instructions

  • Shape Truffles: Scoop small portions and roll into 1-inch balls.
  • Coat: Roll each truffle in powdered sugar for a light coating, or dip in melted white chocolate for a thicker shell.

  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
