Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Truffles
  1. Start by ensuring your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature, which will take about 30 minutes. Gather your zesting tool and lemon.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, room-temperature butter, powdered sugar, and lemon zest. Blend on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Spread the creamy mixture into a shallow container to create an even layer, about 1 inch thick. Freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm it up.
  4. Transfer truffles to a parchment-lined plate, spacing apart, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  5. For coating, melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, and dip each truffle into the chocolate. Place back on parchment to cool and harden.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for 2-3 months.
