Ingredients:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

3. Chill the Mixture:

5. Coat the Truffles:
- Roll the truffles in crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, or crushed nuts to coat.
6. Chill Again:

How many does it make?
The number of Lemon Truffles you can make from this recipe depends on the size of each truffle. Here’s a general estimate:
If you roll the truffles into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon of mixture per truffle), you’ll get approximately 20-24 truffles.
If you make them slightly smaller (about ¾-inch balls), you can get around 30 truffles.
Tips for Portioning:
Use a small cookie scoop or a measuring teaspoon to ensure even-sized truffles.
If you want larger truffles, aim for 1.5-inch balls, which will yield about 12-15 truffles.
