Ingredients
- 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tbsp lemon zest (from about 1 large lemon)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup (about 15g) freeze-dried blueberries, crushed into a powder
- 12 oz (340g) white chocolate melting wafers or chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
- Extra lemon zest or crushed freeze-dried blueberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
- Stir in the crushed freeze-dried blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth balls. Place the truffles on the prepared baking sheet.
- Return the rolled truffles to the refrigerator or freezer for another 30 minutes to firm up completely.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate melting wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth. If desired, stir in the coconut oil to thin the chocolate slightly.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, turning to coat completely. Lift with a fork, tapping gently to remove excess chocolate.
- Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Garnish immediately with extra lemon zest or crushed freeze-dried blueberries, if using, before the chocolate sets.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely set. Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
