Method

How to Make Lemon Cheese Truffles
  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, throw together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Beat them together until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture, ensuring every flavor is well blended.
  2. Mix Wisely: Gradually fold in the graham cracker crumbs to your cream cheese mixture. Keep mixing until it becomes dense enough to hold its shape.
  3. Shape the Truffles: Scoop out small portions from your mixture, rolling them into bite-sized balls about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Chill Out: Place your truffles onto a parchment-lined tray, making sure they aren’t touching. Pop them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until they firm up.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Use the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is silky smooth.
  6. Dip with Care: Once your truffles are chilled, dip each one into the melted white chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle some additional lemon zest on top of each truffle for a vibrant finish.
  8. Let Set: Allow the chocolate coating to set completely before serving.
