Lemon Poppy Seed Truffles image

I grew up having a lot of poppy desserts, so I thought of it right away! You don't have to grind the poppy, but it's just the texture I prefer - you can do it easily in a coffee grinder or buy it already ground! Cooking time is really the chilling time.

Time 3h

Yield 36 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups neufchatel cheese
2 tablespoons poppy seeds, ground
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest (from 1 med lemon)
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh squeezed
3 tablespoons icing sugar
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup hundreds and thousands (sprinkles)

Steps:

  • Cream together the Neufchatel cheese, poppy seed, lemon juice, and zest. Add the icing sugar to thicken up the mixture (add 1 more tbsp if you want it sweeter). Put in the fridge to set - about 2 hours.
  • Line a cookie tray with wax paper. Using small scoop (about 1 tbsp), make small balls of the truffle mixture (or you can just scoop out 1 tbsp at a time and roll into a ball between your palms).
  • As you finish the tray, put it in the fridge for about 15 minutes to be ready for dipping.
  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave and have the sprinkles in a bowl. Using a fork, dip each truffle into the white chocolate and then the sprinkles and return to tray to set (I like to dip just the top half and have the bottom half "naked", with the chocolate kind of running down it).
  • To serve, put the truffles in little foil candy cups and put on a serving tray or in a gift box to give away!

The truffles were a bit too crumbly. I think I would chill them for longer next time.

These truffles were a bit too tart for my taste. I would add less lemon zest next time.

The truffles were a bit dry. I think I would add more butter or cream cheese next time.

These truffles are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but these truffles were surprisingly good. The lemon flavor is not overpowering and the poppy seeds add a nice texture.
