Steps:

• Process biscuits in a food processor until they resemble crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, you can do this by hand by placing biscuits into a zip lock bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Add lemon juice, rind, condensed milk and coconut (1 ½ cups) to the biscuits. Process or mix until combined. Roll a tablespoon of mixture into balls and place into extra coconut. Roll around to cover the balls. I tint my extra coconut with a few drops of yellow colouring for effect. Place in airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

LEMON CAKE BALLS

Steps:

• I used a box lemon cake mix, but you can choose homemade if you'd like. Either way, it should be the equivalent of a 9x13 baked lemon cake.
• In a large sized bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla and lemon juice. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then set the bowl aside.
• Remove the cake from the pan and break it apart, crushing it until it's a fine crumble.
• Working in batches, add the powdered sugar mixture into the crumbled cake, stirring to combine as you continue adding the frosting.
• Once it is evenly mixed, use a spoon or portion scoop, to form the mixture into ball shapes, about 1 ½ to 2 inches in diameter depending on your preference. Place the balls into a separate bowl or plate until you have rolled all of the mixture.
• Cover and chill in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes, or the refrigerator, for 1 hour (until cake truffles become firm).
• Once chilled, melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring between each interval. Watch it closely and melt it slowly until the chocolate is smooth and totally melted.
• Place a rolled truffle on a spoon or poke it on the end of a fork and quickly dip the truffle into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped truffle onto parchment paper to allow the chocolate to dry. Note: if adding sprinkles or other toppings, be sure to add them before the chocolate has dried.
• Allow the chocolate to set and store in an airtight container.
