Ingredients:

• 3 cups white chocolate chips
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tablespoon limoncello
• Zest of 1 whole lemon
• 3 cups confectioner’s sugar
• Yellow food coloring (optional)

Directions:

1. Melt the White Chocolate:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and a few drops of yellow food coloring (if using).
• Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals at half power, stirring well between each increment, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

2. Add Lemon and Limoncello:

• Stir in the lemon zest, limoncello, and 2 cups of confectioner’s sugar.
• If you want an alcohol-free version, substitute the limoncello with ½ tablespoon lemon juice and ½ tablespoon vanilla extract. For a more tart flavor, you can use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice instead of limoncello.

3. Chill the Mixture:

• Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for 2 hours, allowing it to firm up.

4. Form the Truffles:

• Once chilled, place the remaining 1 cup of confectioner’s sugar into a shallow bowl and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scoop out a heaping teaspoon of the mixture, roll it into a ball, and coat it in confectioner’s sugar.
• Place each truffle on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Set the Truffles:

• Once all the truffles are formed, refrigerate the baking sheet for an additional hour to let the truffles fully set.

6. Store and Serve:

• Transfer the set truffles to a food-safe container with a lid and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
• Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
