Introduction

Lemon truffles are bright, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth treats bursting with fresh citrus flavor.
They’re incredibly easy to make, require no baking, and deliver the perfect balance of sweetness
and tang. Whether you’re preparing them for parties, gifting, or simply craving something refreshing,

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh preferred)
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar (for coating or as needed)
• Optional: yellow food coloring for a brighter look

Instructions

1. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20–30 second intervals and stirring until smooth.
2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Stir the melted white chocolate into the lemon mixture until fully combined.
4. Refrigerate the mixture for about 1 hour or until firm enough to scoop.
5. Scoop out small portions and roll into balls with your hands.
6. Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until coated.
7. Refrigerate the finished truffles for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Description

These lemon truffles are soft, creamy, and rich with a bright zest-forward punch.
The sweetness of the white chocolate beautifully balances the tartness of fresh lemon,
creating a refreshing treat that feels light and indulgent at the same time.
Perfect for spring, holidays, or anytime your taste buds need a citrusy lift!

Tips

• Use fresh lemon for the best flavor and aroma.
• If the mixture is too soft, add powdered sugar gradually until it firms up.
• For a less-sweet version, roll the truffles in coconut instead of powdered sugar.
• Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Freeze for up to 2 months for easy make-ahead treats.

Correction

If your truffle mixture is runny or too soft:

• Chill it longer (30–60 more minutes).
• Add extra melted white chocolate, 2 tbsp at a time.
• Make sure your cream cheese and butter are softened, not melted.

If your mixture is too firm:

• Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before shaping.

Enjoy

Serve your lemon truffles chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Enjoy the creamy citrus goodness with tea, coffee, or as a bright, refreshing dessert.
These sweet lemon bites are guaranteed to brighten your day!
