Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup white chocolate melting chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) confectioners sugar
Flavoring Ingredients:
- Zest from 1 orange
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) orange extract
- A few drops orange food coloring
Instructions
- Melt white chocolate chips in a medium bowl, preparing for a creamy base.
- In a saucepan, infuse butter with orange zest over medium heat for 1 minute, releasing aromatic citrus oils.
- Carefully pour heavy cream into the butter mixture, stirring continuously to prevent scorching and ensure smooth incorporation.
- Strain the warm cream mixture over white chocolate chips, allowing the heat to gradually melt the chocolate.
- Whisk in orange extract and food coloring until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform in color.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until the mixture firms up and becomes moldable.
- Divide confectioners sugar into two separate shallow bowls for coating.
- Using a spoon, scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the chilled mixture and roll into smooth, consistent truffle balls.
- Gently coat each truffle in the first bowl of confectioners sugar, ensuring complete coverage.
- Repeat the sugar coating process with the second bowl for an extra-fine, powdery finish.
- Place the coated truffles on a cookie sheet and freeze for 20 minutes to solidify their shape.
- Transfer to the refrigerator until ready to serve, maintaining their delicate texture.
- Savor these zesty, creamy orange creamsicle truffles as a refreshing sweet indulgence.
Notes
- Achieve smooth melting by chopping white chocolate chips into smaller pieces for even heat distribution.
- Add orange zest gradually to control the intensity of citrus flavor in the truffles.
- Prevent cream from scorching by maintaining medium-low heat and constant stirring during preparation.
- Keep truffles chilled to maintain their shape and prevent melting at room temperature.
