Instructions:
To make the truffles:
- Place white chocolate in heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat butter with cream over medium heat just until melts and bubbles form around edge of saucepan.
- Pour over the white chocolate; beat until smooth. Beat in lemon zest and Limoncello. Cover and place in the freezer until firm, around 30 minutes.
- Then, smoothly and carefully roll to form balls. Put them in the freezer until hard, about 30 minutes.
To make the white chocolate coating:
- In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of hot water, melt 1/2 of the white chocolate. Add a few drops of the yellow food color (to desired shade) into the chocolate; let cool slightly.Using 2 forks and working with 1 sheet of truffles, dip each into chocolate, tapping forks on edge of bowl in order to get rid of the excess.
- Next, sprinkle tops with powdered sugar. Refrigerate until coating hardens, around 30 minutes. Serve.
Buon Appetito!
