Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ medium orange zest only
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 drops orange food coloring
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Frying pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Pour white chocolate chips in a medium-sized heat proof mixing bowl and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine heavy whipping cream, butter, and orange zest and turn to medium heat. Bring mixture to a low simmer while mixing and immediately remove once it begins to simmer along the edges of the mixture.
  3. Pour warm whipping cream mixture over white chocolate chips and stir while the chocolate chips melt with a silicone spatula.
  4. Add salt, orange extract, and vanilla extract and mix well. Mix in the orange food coloring and mix until the mixture has a light orange coloring. Then cover and chill for one hour.
  5. Pour the powdered sugar onto a plate or bowl and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Scoop truffles using a small cookie scoop, the dough will be thick but will scoop as it warms a little! Roll into even balls before rolling through the powdered sugar to cover. Then place on the baking sheet with a little space between each truffle. Repeat scooping and rolling with all of the orange white chocolate mixture.
  7. Place the truffles in the refrigerator to chill for an additional 20 minutes, then serve cold and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Keep leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They’re best enjoyed chilled!
  • Freezing: You can freeze these truffles for up to three months. Just make sure to layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Pairing: These truffles pair beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee. They also make a lovely addition to dessert platters.
  • Decorations: Consider rolling them in crushed nuts or sprinkles for a festive touch, especially for special occasions.
  • Flavor Variations: Try adding different flavors by swapping the orange zest for lemon or lime for a citrus twist.
  • Make Them Festive: Use edible glitter or colored sprinkles to elevate the presentation for parties or holidays.
