Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon limoncello
- 1 whole zest of lemon
- 3 cups confectioner's sugar
- yellow food colouring, optional
Instructions
- Add the chocolate, condensed milk, and yellow colouring to a microwave-friendly bowl.
- Heat in 30 second increments at half speed. Stir well between each increment, until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Next, stir in the lemon zest, limoncello, and two cups of the confectioner’s sugar. (For an alcohol free version, use 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract instead of the limoncello. If you use one full tablespoon of lemon juice, the truffles will be very tart, but still quite delicious!)
- Cover and refrigerate for two hours to firm up.
- Once chilled, place the remaining one cup of confectioner's sugar into a shallow bowl. Set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Measure out a heaping teaspoon of the mixture.
- Roll into balls and then roll in confectioner’s sugar.
- Place on the parchment-lined baking tray.
- Once all of the balls are rolled, place the baking tray in the fridge for an hour to set up.
- Transfer to food-safe container with a lid. Keep refrigerated.
