Fresh and Flavorful Lemon White Chocolate Truffles: The Perfect Mother's Day Gift

If you're looking for a sweet treat with a burst of lemony goodness, these Lemon-White Chocolate Truffles are the perfect choice. They are easy to make and will surely impress your friends and family.

Ingredients:

36 vanilla sandwich cookies (such as Golden Oreos), broken into large pieces
1 8-ounce package of cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 tsp. lemon extract
16 oz. white chocolate, chopped
1 tsp. coconut oil
1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
1/3 c. yellow sprinkles, for topping

Directions:

Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Add the cream cheese and lemon extract, then pulse again until the mixture is well combined and almost forms a paste.
Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, making approximately 36 truffles. Place the truffles on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until they become firm.
While the truffles are chilling, prepare the white chocolate coating. Put the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set it over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir the chocolate continuously until fully melted. You can also melt the white chocolate in the microwave, stirring in 15-second intervals. Once melted, gently stir in the coconut oil and grated lemon zest. Remove the bowl from the heat.
Time to coat the truffles! Dip each cookie ball into the white chocolate, using a fork to remove any excess coating. Place the coated truffles back on the baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle the top of each truffle with yellow sprinkles for added color.
Refrigerate the truffles until the white chocolate coating sets, which usually takes about 10 minutes.

Serve and enjoy these luscious and tangy Lemon-White Chocolate Truffles. They are perfect for any occasion or as a delightful pick-me-up treat.
