Ingredients
Ingredients
- 250 g white chocolate finely chopped
- 70 ml heavy cream
- 40 ml limoncello liqueur
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
- Pinch of salt
- 80 g powdered sugar for coating or extra melted white chocolate for dipping
Instructions
- Finely chop the white chocolate and place it in a medium mixing bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and immediately pour over the white chocolate.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 1-2 minutes, then gently stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Stir in the limoncello, lemon zest, vanilla bean paste, and salt until fully combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
- Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out small portions and roll into balls. Coat each truffle with powdered sugar or dip in melted white chocolate, then transfer to a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the truffles for another 20 minutes before serving. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Notes
- Let the chocolate mixture sit undisturbed to ensure smooth melting.
- Adjust the limoncello to taste for stronger or milder flavor.
