  • Refrigerator

Ingredients

Truffle Mixture

  • 8 ounces Cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup Lemon juice freshly squeezed

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs or crushed digestive biscuits

Instructions

How to Make Lemon Cheese Truffles

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy, creating a fluffy base for your truffles.
  • Gradually add the graham cracker crumbs to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined and thick enough to hold its shape, resembling a thick dough.
  • Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls—about 1 inch in diameter.
  • Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray, ensuring they don't touch each other. This helps them maintain their shape while chilling.
  • Refrigerate the truffles for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals. Stir each time until smooth and completely melted.
  • Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Then, place them back on the parchment-lined tray to set.
  • Sprinkle extra lemon zest on top of each truffle if desired.
  • Let the coating set, then serve your delightful Lemon Cheese Truffles and enjoy!

Notes

For best texture, ensure cream cheese is fully softened. Adjust graham cracker crumbs if mixture is too loose. Stir chocolate frequently while melting.
