Make these simple, bright lemon truffles without using an oven or stove. They mix quickly and chill to a perfect bite-sized treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, plus more for coating
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Place the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl. Beat it with an electric mixer until smooth.
  2. Gradually add the 2 cups of powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing until fully combined.
  3. Mix in the lemon extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until the mixture is uniform.
  4. Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll.
  5. Scoop out small amounts of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms to form smooth balls.
  6. Place extra powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
  7. Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to set completely.

Notes

  • For a different coating, you can melt white chocolate chips and dip the chilled truffles instead of using powdered sugar.
  • If the mixture is too soft to roll after chilling, return it to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
  • Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best bright flavor.
