Lemon Cream Pie Truffles
Lemon Cream Pie Truffles
Today is reallyyyyy exciting in the world of #lynnsfavs. Not only does this installment of my favorite things include LEMON, which is probably one of the most fabulous foods/flavors that can ever go into anything EVER, but it also includes a recipe from my dear friend Sally‘s new cookbook that is set to release on September 29th!
Lucky for you, I’m giving away a signed copy for free! See bottom of the post for details.
Smooth and creamy truffles full of lemon flavor and rolled in bright and sunny sprinkles. Easy to follow instructions will make you feel like a candy-making expert!
Ingredients
- 14 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- ¾ cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Place white chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Place the butter on top. Do not mix. Set aside.
- Pour heavy cream into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and whisk in the lemon extract. Pour hot mixture over the white chocolate and gently stir with a wooden spoon* in one direction. Do not stir forcefully. Once mixture is completely smooth, cover with plastic wrap pressed to the surface of the mixture. Allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour, then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 6 hours (I chilled mine overnight). After chilling, the ganache mixture will be smooth and soft, but still manageable by hand.
- When you are ready to roll your truffles, line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Pour sprinkles into a bowl and set aside.
- Measure 1 teaspoon of ganache (I used a melon baller), roll between your hands into a ball**, then roll in the sprinkles. Place on the baking sheet. Continue this process until you have used all of the ganache. Serve immediately or cover tightly and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. We enjoyed ours in the freezer.
Notes
*It is crucial to use a wooden spoon as metal or plastic will retain heat and distribute it unevenly.
**I found it easiest to wipe my hands clean after making each truffle. This may sound tedious, but it helps keep things smooth and clean.
