Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (zest from 1 large lemon)
Optional Coating
- Powdered sugar
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Coconut flakes
- Additional lemon zest
Instructions
- Melt Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Add Zest: Stir in the fresh lemon zest thoroughly to evenly distribute the citrus flavor throughout the mixture.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours until the mixture is firm enough to handle and roll into balls.
- Shape Truffles: Using a spoon or small scoop, take portions of the chilled mixture and roll them between your hands to form small, uniform balls.
- Coat (Optional): For added texture and flavor, roll the truffles in powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, coconut flakes, or extra lemon zest as desired.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the truffles immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon zest for the best citrus flavor.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance; stir well to prevent burning.
- Coating the truffles is optional but adds nice texture and additional taste variations.
- Store the truffles refrigerated for up to one week.
- Allow truffles to come to room temperature slightly before serving for optimal melt-in-mouth texture.
