Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to shimmer.
  2. Once hot, take it off the heat and stir in the chopped white chocolate. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes to let the chocolate melt, then stir until smooth.
  3. Mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the fridge for about 2 hours or until it becomes firm enough to scoop.
  5. Using a small scoop or spoon, scoop out portions and roll them into bite-sized balls.
  6. If desired, roll the truffles in extra lemon zest for a zesty coating.
  7. Return the finished truffles to the fridge for a while to set before serving.
