Ingredients
- 300 grams white chocolate
- 80 ml heavy cream
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 50 ml limoncello
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 50 grams powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not allow it to boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then gently stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 4
Add the unsalted butter, limoncello, and lemon zest to the chocolate mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and you achieve a silky texture.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Step 6
Once chilled, use a small spoon or a melon baller to scoop out portions of the truffle mixture. Roll each portion into a ball between your palms.
Step 7
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the powdered sugar until evenly coated.
Step 8
Transfer the truffles to an airtight container lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 9
Allow the truffles to come to room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
