How To Make Lemon Truffles 

Directions for how to make Lemon Truffles – Lemon Oreo Truffles Recipe

Ingredients

• Lemon Oreos
• White Chocolate Chips
• Yellow Chocolate Melts
• Sugared Crystals 
• 1-2 Lemons 

DIRECTIONS

 1. Line a large non-stick baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.
 2. Finely crush the Lemon Oreos. I used a food processor but you could also place them in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
 3. Place the crushed Oreos into the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes. This will make it easier to handle.
 4. In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and crushed Oreos. Mix with your hands until well incorporated.
 5. Form the mixture into 24 one inch balls and place on the cookie sheet.
 6. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes. This will help the chocolate coating to “set” faster.
 7. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 1 Tablespoon solid shortening for 40 seconds or until melted. Add the white chocolate chips and stir continuously until melted.
 8. Dip 12 of the truffles into the melted white chocolate and place on wax-paper covered cookie sheet. Immediately garnish with lemon zest on top before the chocolate “sets.”
 9. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 1 Tablespoon solid shortening for 40 seconds or until melted. Add the yellow chocolate melts and stir continuously until melted.
 10. Dip the remaining 12 balls into the melted yellow chocolate and place it on the cookie sheet. Immediately garnish with lemon zest and sugared crystals (optional).
 11. Wait 15 minutes for the chocolate to set.
 12. ENJOY or chill until ready to serve

One resource I love for all my homemade candy making is this book. If you are interested in lots of great recipes this book is amazing. It has recipes for all levels of candy making from beginning to advanced recipes. 

You can see my review from the book and how the chocolate-covered cherries that we made turned out. I also spotted this recipe for Lemon Truffles that aren’t with Oreos or cream cheese if you have more time to spend making homemade candy and need a big batch of truffles.
