Ingredients

4 oz cream cheese cubed
½ cup heavy cream
7 oz sugar-free white chocolate chips
1 cup fine ground almond flour
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 ½ tsp lemon extract

Coating:

1 cup sugar free white chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp lemon extract
Zest from 1 lemon

Instructions

In a saucepan, add the cream cheese and heavy cream and whisk over medium heat until well combined and melty.
Add the white chocolate chips, almond flour, lemon juice, and lemon extract and stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and saucy. Transfer to a bowl and cover, then place in the fridge for 5-6 hours or overnight. The mixture should be cooled and easy to scoop and shape.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and shape the cooled mixture into 1 or 1.5 tbsp balls. Place on the parchment paper. Set the lemon truffles in the freezer while you make the white chocolate coating.
In a double boiler or saucepan, add the white chocolate chips and coconut oil and heat over low heat until melted and smooth. Stir in the lemon zest. One by one, carefully dip the frozen truffles in the white chocolate, coating on all sides. Carefully remove the truffles with a fork or slotted spoon and place back on the lined baking sheet. Once all the truffles have been coated, return the sheet pan to the fridge to set the chocolate for about 15-20 minutes. Store in the fridge until ready to serve!

Notes

Even though almond flour is used in these truffles, they are not gritty, they’re very smooth and delicious! Use finely ground almond flour for best results and texture.
These should be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
The lemon zest gives these truffles a little texture so if you want smooth truffles, omit the lemon zest.
After the white chocolate coating is melted, immediately remove it from heat or you risk it clumping up. White chocolate gets overcooked QUICKLY and is much less forgiving than other chocolates.
