Ingredients
  

200g white chocolate, chopped

100ml heavy cream

Zest of 2 large lemons

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

100g crushed digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)

100g unsweetened desiccated coconut (optional, for rolling)

50g finely chopped pistachios (optional, for rolling)

Instructions
 

Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped white chocolate and heavy cream. Place over a pot of simmering water, stirring until the chocolate melts smoothly. Remove from heat.

    Add Flavor: Stir in the lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract until fully combined. The mixture should be silky and aromatic.

      Incorporate Biscuits: Fold in the crushed digestive biscuits, mixing until evenly distributed. This will add a nice crunch to your truffles.

        Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.

          Shape the Truffles: Once chilled, use a melon baller or a small cookie scoop to scoop out portions of the mixture. Roll them into balls with your hands (about 1 inch in diameter).

            Coat the Truffles: You can roll the truffles in desiccated coconut, chopped pistachios, or leave them plain for a minimalist look. Ensure they are well coated and place them on a lined baking sheet.

              Chill Again: Place the coated truffles back in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

                Serve & Enjoy: Arrange on a serving plate and enjoy your refreshing lemon truffles!
