Description
Delightful lemon truffles that deliver a refreshing zesty flavor, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 7 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional but recommended)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided
Instructions
- Start by placing your lemon cake mix into a large bowl. Add the melted butter, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir everything together until a soft dough forms. It will be a little sticky at first—that’s a good sign.
- Scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into small balls, about 2 inches wide. If your hands get sticky, lightly grease them with a bit of butter.
- Pour the remaining granulated sugar into a shallow dish. Roll each lemon truffle in the sugar until it’s completely coated.
- Lay the truffles on a plate or baking sheet in a single layer and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. Once they’re firm, they’re ready to serve.
Notes
- The addition of lemon zest enhances the truffle’s flavor and aroma.
- These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Feel free to experiment with different coatings, such as shredded coconut or crushed nuts.
