After the popularity of my Oreo Truffles, I couldn’t stop thinking about more truffle ideas. Today, I’d like to share with you another really simple and easy truffle recipe: Lemon Truffles! The sight of fresh lemons always make me think of delicious desserts like these lemon truffles…

They’re bite size lemon cake balls that are so fragrant and beautiful. We make them for parties and also as gifts for friends and neighbors to brighten anyone’s day.

There is no special equipment needed except a mixing bowl and a plate to roll the truffles in sprinkles. You make the batter and roll it into balls between your palms. This is a fun activity to do with kids if you have little helpers around.

All you need are 5 simple ingredients to make them: fresh lemons, lemon cake mix, butter, sugar and some sprinkles. It’s a no bake recipe except for a quick heat treatment for the cake mix to pasteurize it.
