Step 3: Form the Ganache

Pour the hot lemon-infused cream over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes—this softens the chocolate.
Then slowly stir with a spatula or whisk until the mixture becomes glossy and smooth.
If a few chunks remain, you can place the bowl over a pot of warm water to finish melting.

Your ganache should smell heavenly and look silky.

Step 4: Chill the Mixture

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the ganache for 1–2 hours, or until it becomes firm enough to scoop.
If your kitchen is warm, it may take slightly longer. The goal is a scoopable but still soft consistency.

Step 5: Shape the Truffles

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out small portions of the chilled ganache and roll them between your palms to form smooth, round truffles.
Tip: If the mixture is too sticky, lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar.

Place each truffle on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6: Choose Your Coating Style

This is where your creativity shines!

Option 1: Powdered Sugar

Roll each truffle in powdered sugar for a soft, snowy finish.

Option 2: Coconut

Dip the truffles into finely shredded coconut. This adds a beautiful texture and complements the citrus flavor.

Option 3: White Chocolate Dip

Melt white chocolate and dip each chilled truffle, placing them back on the tray to set.
For a decorative touch, drizzle a thin line of lemon-tinted chocolate on top.

Option 4: Lemon Sugar Crunch

Roll truffles in sanding sugar or crushed lemon candies for sparkle and a gentle crunch.

🌟 Tips for Best Results

• Use real lemon, not extract, for authentic flavor.
• Choose quality white chocolate—low-quality chocolate may seize or become grainy.
• If your ganache seems too soft to roll, chill it another 30 minutes.
• Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer.
