f you’re a fan of lemon desserts, these lemon truffles are about to become your new obsession. Imagine the bright, tart pucker of lemon combined with a luxuriously creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture. These little bites deliver serious citrus bliss in candy form!
The genius of these lemon truffles lies in their simplicity. You just need 3 basic ingredients – cream cheese (or coconut butter), powdered sugar, and fresh lemon zest. Give them a quick whip together and you’ve got an ultra-rich, ultra-smooth lemon cheesecake-like filling that’s begging to be rolled into truffles.
While you can certainly stop there and enjoy those naked lemon orbs in all their tangy glory, they’re even more irresistible when given a crisp candy shell. A dip or roll in melted white chocolate or coconut butter provides the perfect polished contrast to the sweet-tart, creamy interior.
