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.
