Ingredients
  

8 oz white chocolate, chopped

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup limoncello liqueur

Zest of 1 lemon

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup crushed pistachios (for coating)

Optional: powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped white chocolate and heavy cream. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

    Add Flavors: Stir in the limoncello liqueur, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined. The mixture should be silky and fragrant.

      Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.

        Form the Truffles: Once chilled, use a melon baller or small scoop to portion out the chocolate mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth balls.

          Coat the Truffles: Roll each truffle in crushed pistachios until evenly coated. Alternatively, you can dust them lightly with powdered sugar for a sweeter finish.

            Chill Again: Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined tray and return them to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.

              Serve: Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy the creamy, tangy, and delectable flavors of your homemade White Chocolate Limoncello Truffles!
