White Chocolate Lemon Truffles

Here is another recipe that showed up on my Facebook news feed. This one looks so sweetly delicious!

I did some searching on whose original recipe this is and came up with Sugarcoated's post here, who found it via Kitchen Simplicity. {[a lot of good recipes there, I might add]}

 

 Makes 24 truffles.

Ingredients:

1 cup, white chocolate

5 Tbsp, unsalted butter

3 Tbsp, heavy cream

pinch 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 2 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 or freeze for longer storage.
