Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • White chocolate chips 1 cup – Provides a creamy base.
  • Unsalted butter 1/4 cup – Adds richness.
  • Navel orange zest from 1/2 orange – Infuses a bright, citrus flavor.
  • Heavy cream 3 tablespoons – Gives the truffles a soft texture.
  • Orange extract 1/2 teaspoon – Enhances the orange flavor.
  • Orange food coloring 2-3 drops – Gives the truffles a vibrant color.
  • Salt a pinch – Balances sweetness.
  • Powdered sugar 1/4 cup – Used for coating.

Method
 

  1. Place the powdered sugar in a large, shallow container and set aside.
  2. Place white chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the orange zest. Stir in the heavy cream and bring just before boiling. Stir in the orange extract, food coloring, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Pour the hot cream mixture through a sieve over the chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
  5. Allow to cool slightly; cover and refrigerate until firm (about 1-2 hours), stirring occasionally.
  6. Using a scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls. If sticky, dust hands with powdered sugar.
  7. Roll the balls in powdered sugar to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling Time: Extend chilling in the fridge if the mixture feels too soft before scooping.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve chilled. They soften at room temperature, enhancing the creamy texture.
