Here is a link to the recipe I used: https://twosugarbugs.com/lemon-truffles/

For the cheesecake, I made a crust with a mixture of graham crackers and vanilla duplex cookies, 3/4 sleeve of graham crackers, about 3 cookies with the frosting. I added enough melted butter to lightly hold it together. I baked it for about 10 minutes and let it cool.

I used about 6 oz. white chocolate chips, splashed in some half and half (a scant 1/4 cup, but that's too much, a TBS might be better) and about 1 1/2 TBS lemon juice. I ended up using 8 oz. of cream cheese to get a cheesecake consistency. I poured the filling into the cake and chilled it for an hour or so. It set up. I think I could have added some sugar, but the flavor is okay. (Note to self: stick to the recipe! lol)
