1. Ingredients You’ll Need

To make these no-bake lemon truffles, you only need a few simple but high-quality ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

1.1. Basic Ingredients

  • 200 g of plain biscuits (like digestive or butter cookies)

  • 100 g of ricotta or mascarpone

  • 80 g of powdered sugar

  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

  • Grated coconut (for coating)

  • A pinch of salt

1.2. Tools Required

  • Blender or food processor

  • Mixing bowl

  • Spoon for portioning

  • Parchment paper (optional, for placing the truffles)

2. How to Prepare the Lemon Truffles

2.1. Step 1: Crush the Biscuits

Place the biscuits in a blender or food processor and blend until they become a fine powder. If you don’t have a blender, place the biscuits in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

2.2. Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, ricotta or mascarpone, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Mix everything well using a spoon or spatula until smooth and combined. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more lemon juice.

2.3. Step 3: Shape the Truffles

Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about the size of a walnut. Try to make them uniform for a consistent result.

2.4. Step 4: Coat the Truffles

Roll each ball in grated coconut until fully coated. This adds both flavor and a nice visual touch.

2.5. Step 5: Chill

Place the truffles on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up properly.
