Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried blueberries, crushed
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)
- Extra lemon zest and crushed freeze-dried blueberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sifted powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the crushed freeze-dried blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1-2 hours, or until firm enough to roll.
- Once chilled, scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Return the rolled truffles to the refrigerator while you prepare the white chocolate coating.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork or a dipping tool to gently tap off excess chocolate.
- Carefully place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with extra lemon zest and crushed freeze-dried blueberries for garnish, if desired.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has fully set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your delightful Lemon Blueberry Truffles!
