This is a new recipe we tried this year. Like I said in my earlier post we are always looking for new recipes to add to our holiday recipe collection. I love how truffles look and always like to add a little candy to our christmas goodies so I thought I’d give these a try. They have a light lemony flavor and look like little snowballs. I definitely think this is a recipe more the taste buds of grown ups. My husband loved them, my kids were not in love with them. I think they would rather eat a cookie. So if you like truffles give these a try.

White Chocolate Lemon Truffles

1 cup white chocolate
5 Tbsp. unsalted butter
3 Tbsp. heavy cream
pinch salt
1 tsp. lemon extract
powdered sugar, for dusting

Melt chocolate, butter and cream over a double boiler or in a microwave. Stir until smooth.

Stir in salt and extract. Allow to cool slightly before covering with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm enough to handle.

With a melon baller or small spoon scoop out mixture and form into 1 inch balls. Toss with icing sugar to coat.

Store covered in the fridge for up to one week. Freeze for longer storage.

Makes about 24.
