### **How to Make Lemon Truffles**
Making these truffles is an easy and enjoyable process, with just a few simple steps. Here’s how to prepare your homemade lemon truffles:
**Step 1: Make the Lemon Ganache**
– In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and butter. Heat over low-medium heat until the butter melts and the cream starts to steam, but don’t let it boil.
– Once the cream mixture is heated, pour it over the white chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Stir gently until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
– Add the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to the mixture. Stir well to combine and infuse the ganache with the tangy citrus flavor. Add powdered sugar to sweeten the ganache to your taste and stir in the vanilla extract for extra flavor.
– Let the ganache cool for about 20-30 minutes at room temperature, then place it in the fridge for 1-2 hours to firm up.
**Step 2: Shape the Truffles**
– Once the ganache is firm, use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop out portions of the ganache. Roll them into smooth balls using your hands. If the ganache is too sticky, lightly grease your hands with butter or oil to help with rolling.
– Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the truffles are rolled, place them back into the fridge to chill for another 15-20 minutes.
**Step 3: Coat the Truffles (Optional)**
– If you want to coat your truffles with a layer of white chocolate, melt the remaining white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts.
– Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, using a fork or toothpick to coat them evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffle back on the parchment-lined sheet.
– Allow the truffles to set in the fridge for another 20-30 minutes, until the white chocolate coating hardens.
