Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Zest of 1 large lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup almond flour

1/4 cup finely chopped almonds (for coating)

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and all ingredients are well blended.

    Incorporate Almond Flour: Gradually mix the almond flour into the yogurt mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture thickens and can hold its shape. If the mixture feels overly sticky, sprinkle in an extra tablespoon or two of almond flour until it reaches a manageable consistency.

      Form the Truffles: With clean hands, take small amounts of the mixture (approximately 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into round balls. Arrange the formed truffles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper for easy removal.

        Coat the Truffles: Roll each truffle in the finely chopped almonds to ensure they are evenly coated. Once coated, place the truffles back on the parchment-lined tray.

          Freeze the Truffles: Carefully place the tray in the freezer and allow the truffles to freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until they become firm to the touch.

            Optional White Chocolate Drizzle: If you choose to add a chocolate drizzle, melt the white chocolate chips using a microwave or in a double boiler. Once melted, take the tray of frozen truffles out of the freezer and drizzle the chocolate generously over each truffle. For an added gourmet touch, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of the drizzle before the chocolate sets.

              Store and Enjoy: Transfer the finished truffles to an airtight container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When you’re ready to indulge, take out a few truffles and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly before enjoying their creamy, tangy goodness!

                  Presentation Tips: For an eye-catching presentation, serve the truffles on a decorative platter. You can add fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a small bowl of extra chopped almonds on the side for a delightful garnish.
