Instructions

Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add lemon juice, zest, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Mix until well combined.
Stir melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and uniform.
Refrigerate the mixture for 1–2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the mixture and roll into balls.
Roll each truffle in powdered sugar to coat. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

Use high-quality white chocolate for best flavor and texture.
Adjust lemon juice/zest to taste for more or less tartness.
Try rolling in crushed cookies or coconut flakes for variety.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
