Ingredients

4 oz cream cheese (or coconut butter for dairy-free)

2 tbsp butter (or coconut butter for plant-based)

3 tbsp powdered sugar (or erythritol for low-carb)

Zest of 1 lemon

3 oz white chocolate chips (optional, for coating)

Optional: Drop of yellow food coloring or pinch of turmeric

Instructions

  1. Bring cream cheese and butter to room temperature until softened.
  2. Mix cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and optional coloring until smooth using a hand mixer.
  3. Transfer mixture to a small container and chill until firm enough to scoop, about 10 minutes.
  4. Use a mini cookie scoop to form small balls and place on a parchment-lined plate. Freeze until solid.
  5. (Optional) Melt white chocolate and stir in a little oil for smoother coating.
  6. Dip each chilled truffle into melted chocolate and set on parchment. Chill again until firm.
  7. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

  • Chill mixture before rolling to avoid stickiness.
  • Use oil in melted chocolate for even coating.
  • Roll in crushed nuts, coconut, or cocoa powder instead of coating if preferred.
  • Store in fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for 1 month.
  • Great for flavor customization: add orange zest, vanilla, or freeze-dried berries.
