**Ingredients:**
– 200g white chocolate
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 200g marshmallows
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by making the lemon-flavored ganache. In a heatproof bowl, combine the white chocolate, heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
2. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
3. Stir the mixture gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth.
4. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the ganache cool to room temperature.
5. While the ganache is cooling, prepare the marshmallow filling. Cut the marshmallows into smaller pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
6. Microwave the marshmallows in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until they are melted and smooth.
7. Once the ganache and marshmallow fillings are ready, take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.
8. Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the lemon ganache and marshmallow, alternating between the two, to create small mounds on the parchment paper.
9. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the Citronflødeboller chill for at least 2 hours, or until they are set.
10. Once the treats have set, remove them from the refrigerator and dust them lightly with powdered sugar.
11. Serve the Citronflødeboller on a pretty platter and watch them disappear as your guests enjoy these delightful Danish delights.
