Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup white chocolate melting chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- Zest from 1 orange
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- A few drops orange food coloring
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, divided
Instructions
- Prepare the White Chocolate:
Place the white chocolate melting chips in a medium bowl and set aside. - Infuse the Butter with Orange Zest:
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and orange zest. Cook for about 1 minute to infuse the butter with the orange flavor. - Add the Cream:
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to prevent scalding. Continue stirring for about 2 minutes, allowing the mixture to combine fully. - Melt the White Chocolate:
Pour the butter mixture through a fine strainer over the white chocolate melting chips. Let the mixture sit for about a minute to melt the chocolate. - Add Extract and Color:
Add the orange extract and a few drops of orange food coloring to the melted chocolate. Whisk the mixture until the chocolate is mostly melted and smooth. - Chill the Mixture:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until it becomes firm enough to shape. - Shape the Truffles:
Divide the confectioners sugar between two small bowls. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the truffle mixture and roll them into balls. - Coat the Truffles:
Roll each truffle in one of the bowls of confectioners sugar, then place them on a cookie sheet. Once all the truffles are rolled, re-roll them in the second bowl of confectioners sugar. - Set the Truffles:
Place the truffles in the freezer for 20 minutes to set. Once set, transfer them to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a fun twist, you can roll the truffles in colored sanding sugar or coconut flakes instead of confectioners sugar for extra texture.
- These truffles can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
- If the mixture is too soft to roll, you can add a little more white chocolate to help it firm up.
