Be sure that to scroll right down to the recipe card on the backside of this submit for the complete ingredient record and directions.

• Chopped white chocolate. You can too use white chocolate chips, however I’ve discovered that chopped white chocolate melts a lot smoother than chips!
• Lemon taste extract. That is straightforward to search out at most native supermarkets or superstores. I examined this recipe utilizing recent lemon juice, and located that to actually style the lemon you wanted so as to add at the least 1 tablespoon of juice, which brought on the white chocolate combination to curdle barely and keep too skinny. The extract works completely because you don’t have so as to add an excessive amount of!
• Yellow meals coloring. You should utilize meals coloring gel or liquid drops.

Suggestions When Making Lemon Truffles

1. Select high quality white chocolate. Like I said above, chopped white chocolate usually melts smoother than white chocolate chips. And even some white chocolate chips manufacturers don’t even actually soften, however can simply curdle/separate and burn (Hershey’s chips by no means work for me). Manufacturers like Lindt or Guittard by no means let me down.
2. Don’t use “Almond Bark” or the white melting disks. These are higher used when merely dipping a truffle or as a drizzle. They’re made with low-quality components and actually don’t style that nice for my part. They’re high-quality for sure makes use of, however truffles needs to be a scrumptious deal with, not waxy and synthetic.
3. Add a bit of lemon zest for much more lemon taste. You may simply zest one lemon and stir it into the white chocolate combination earlier than chilling to actually amp up the citrus. You might additionally add a bit of zest to the powdered sugar coating.

Variations:

• Make these into Orange Cream Truffles or Lime Cream Truffles simply. Simply sub out the citrus extract and the meals colour drops!
• Roll these in coarse or glowing sugar for a reasonably crunch, and even dip them in milk or semi-sweet chocolate.
• Add a bit of recent lemon zest into the combination while you soften all the things collectively if you need a bit of additional citrus taste. Simply 1/2 tablespoon or so. If you happen to add an excessive amount of it may give your truffle a extra bitter style. 

Do Truffles Want To Be Refrigerated / How To Retailer

I do advocate that you simply retailer them within the fridge in an hermetic container. They’re high-quality at room temperature for some time, however they may soften as they arrive as much as room temperature. You may even freeze these truffles and they are going to be nice!
