The bright citrus zing cuts through all that rich creaminess in the most lively, refreshing way. Yet there’s an unmistakable lushness and decadence to each soft, truffle-y bite.
They’re the ideal spring and summer confection for lemon lovers. Or really, for anyone who appreciates the harmonious balance of sweet and tart flavors in dessert form. Think of them as the zestier, more refreshing version of chocolate truffles that are tailor-made for warm weather.
While a total cinch to whip up, you can easily make these lemon truffles look as elegant and polished as they taste. For a pretty presentation, try drizzling them with contrasting white and yellow candy melts. Or garnish with extra lemon zest curls, candied lemon slices, or flakes of toasted coconut.
Of course, their bright sunny color and punchy lemon flavor also makes these truffles perfect for all sorts of celebratory occasions. They’d make such a lovely edible gift for Mother’s Day, bridal showers, birthdays, or any spring fling. I also love setting out a platter of them alongside tea sandwiches for an ultra-dainty high tea vibe.
While definitely decadent, you can easily make these lemon truffles suit different dietary needs too. Use vegan cream cheese and coconut butter or oil to make them plant-based. Or opt for a sugar-free powdered sweetener to satisfy the keto crowd. So many delicious possibilities!
No matter how you decide to enjoy them, these lemon truffles are sure to disappear fast. They’re rich and indulgent enough to satisfy any sweet tooth, yet boast a wonderfully bright and zippy lemon flavor that keeps you coming back for just one more bite. Creamy citrus candy perfection!
