Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (finely crushed)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm enough to scoop.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture into small balls and roll them between your palms to form truffles.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until fully melted. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over each coated truffle before the chocolate hardens.
- Place the truffles on parchment-lined trays and refrigerate until set, about 15-20 minutes.
