If you like lemon sweets, these lemon truffles will soon take front stage in your devotion. Imagine the brilliant, sour pucker of lemon next to a deliciously creamy, melt-in-your-mouth mouthfeel. These small candies provide major citrus delight!
These lemon truffles are really brilliant in simplicity. Your only three basic ingredients are fresh lemon zest, powdered sugar, and cream cheese (or coconut butter). After giving them a short whisk together, you get a very rich, ultra-smooth lemon cheesecake-like filling just ready for rolling into truffles.
Even if you could stop there and savor those naked lemon orbs in all their tart splendor, they are far more appealing when presented with a clean sugar shell. Perfect polished contrast to the sweet-tart, creamy inside comes from a dip or roll in melted white chocolate or coconut butter.
Whether you present them, these lemon truffles are very tempting little delicacies. The vivid citrus zing slices over all that delicious creaminess in the most energetic, reviving manner. Still, every delicate, truffle-y mouthful has an obvious richness and gloss.
For fans of lemon, they are the perfect spring and summer treat. Or basically, for everyone who enjoys the harmonic mix of sweet and sour tastes in dessert form. Consider them as the zestier, more reviving kind of chocolate truffles designed for summer.
You can quickly create these lemon truffles looking as sophisticated and polished as they taste, even though an absolute snap to mix together. Drizzling them with opposing white and yellow candy melts can help to create a beautiful display. Alternatively sprinkle flakes of toasted coconut, candied lemon segments, or additional lemon zest curls.
Of course, their strong lemon taste and brilliant sunny hue also make these truffles ideal for all kinds of festive events. For Mother’s Day, wedding showers, birthdays, or any spring fling, they would provide such a beautiful food present. For a very sophisticated high tea, I also like presenting a tray of these next to tea sandwiches.
Although certainly indulgent, you can simply create these lemon truffles to fit other dietary requirements too. To make vegan, use coconut butter or oil or vegan cream cheese. Alternatively gratify the ketogenic population with a sugar-free powdered sweetener. Many mouthwatering opportunities here!
These lemon truffles will go quickly regardless of your method of enjoyment. Though their taste is incredibly sharp and zesty, which keeps you going back for just one more mouthful, they are rich and decadent enough to please any sweet craving. Perfect creamy citrus sweet!
