Combining the smoothness of white chocolate, the citrusy zing of lemon zest, the tropical hint of dried coconut meat, and a luscious dark chocolate coating, this recipe is both simple and sophisticated.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g
1 cup white chocolate
230g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1/4 cup dried coconut meat
16g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the White Chocolate Mixture:
- In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy whipping cream over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer. Be careful not to let it boil.
2. Melt the White Chocolate:
- Place the finely chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- Pour the hot heavy whipping cream over the white chocolate. Let it sit for about 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
- Gently stir the mixture until the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
3. Incorporate Flavors:
- Add the lemon zest to the melted white chocolate mixture and stir well to combine.
4. Cool the Mixture:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
5. Form the Truffles:
- Once the white chocolate mixture is firm, use a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon to portion out the mixture.
- Roll each portion into a small ball using your hands.
6. Coat with Coconut:
- Roll each truffle in the finely shredded dried coconut meat, ensuring each truffle is evenly coated.
7. Prepare the Dark Chocolate Coating:
- In a separate heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
8. Dip the Truffles:
- Use a fork or a candy dipper to dip each coated truffle into the melted dark chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
9. Set the Truffles:
- Allow the dark chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature. You can also place the truffles in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
10. Serve:
- Once the truffles are set, they are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tips:

- Use high-quality chocolate to ensure a smooth and luxurious texture.

- Make sure to finely zest the lemon to maximize the citrus flavor without bitterness.

- Chill the truffle mixture thoroughly before rolling into balls; this makes the process easier and less messy.

- If the mixture is too sticky to handle, lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar or cocoa powder.

- For an extra decorative touch, sprinkle a little dried coconut or lemon zest on top of the truffles before the dark chocolate coating sets.

Voila! Your Lemon White Chocolate Truffles are ready to be savored. These decadent bites offer a harmonious blend of sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion. Whether you’re impressing guests at a dinner party or treating yourself to a little luxury, these truffles are sure to please.
