"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon lemon flavor extract
2 drops yellow food coloring
1/4 cup butter
zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:
Pour the white chocolate chips into a medium, heat-safe bowl. Add the lemon extract and food coloring. Set aside and have a fine mesh strainer ready next to the bowl.

In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and lemon zest over low heat until the butter is melted.

Increase the heat to medium and add the heavy whipping cream. Whisk to combine.

Cook just until the mixture begins to simmer. Do not allow it to simmer for more than a couple of seconds. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour the liquid through the strainer (to catch the lemon zest) and over top of the white chocolate.
Immediately whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate until the white chocolate lemon ganache is chilled and firm.

Scoop the chilled ganache into 12 small balls and roll between your hands until smooth. Roll each ball in powdered sugar.

Chill the truffles in the refrigerator until firm, or about 1 hour.
