White Chocolate Lemon Truffles

I stumbled upon a recipe at Kitchen Simplicity that I had to try! White Chocolate Lemon Truffles sounds so smooth and fresh. It turned out to be so easy too.

White Chocolate Lemon Truffles

1 cup white chocolate
5 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp heavy cream
pinch of salt
1 tsp lemon extract
icing sugar for dusting

Directions:

Melt chocolate, butter and cream over a double boiler or in a microwave. Stir until smooth.

Stir in salt and extract. Allow to cool slightly before covering with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for two hours or until firm enough to handle.

With a melon baller or small spoon scoop out mixture and form into 1 inch balls. Toss with icing sugar to coat.

Store covered in the fridge for up to one week. Freeze for longer storage.

I have considered using this recipe with different flavors to change it up a bit. I think next time I will try chocolate with raspberry or orange extract. Yum!
