How to Make Lemon Scented White Chocolate Truffles

  1. Finely grate the zest of 1 lemon.
  2. Place 200g of finely chopped white chocolate in a large heatproof bowl.
  3. Pour 150ml of heavy cream into a small saucepan. Add the lemon zest and heat over medium-high heat.
  4. Bring the cream to a gentle boil, then immediately pour it over the white chocolate.
  5. Let stand for 1 minute, then gently stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture is firm.
  7. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  8. Once firm, using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls.
  9. Place the truffles on the prepared tray and refrigerate for another 15 minutes to firm up.
  10. Prepare two small bowls: one with 50g desiccated coconut and one with 50g chopped nuts (e.g., pistachios, almonds).
  11. Roll each truffle in either the coconut or nuts, pressing gently to coat.
  12. Place the finished truffles in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
