Ingredients
- 12 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- 2 to 3 drops orange food coloring (optional)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling (optional)
- 8 ounces white chocolate, melted for coating (optional)
Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl, combine chopped white chocolate and heavy cream.
- Melt the mixture using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each round until smooth.
- Stir in orange zest and orange extract until well combined.
- Add food coloring if using, and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until the mixture is firm.
- Once firm, scoop and roll into evenly sized balls using a small scoop or spoon.
- Roll truffles in powdered sugar or dip into melted white chocolate for coating, if desired.
- Place truffles on a lined tray and let set completely before serving.
Notes
- Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for a creamier flavor.
- Mix in finely crushed vanilla cookies for added texture.
- Dark chocolate coating gives a rich flavor contrast.
- Ensure mixture is well-chilled to shape easily.
- Skip coating if preferred; serve plain or dusted with sugar.
