Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate melting chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- Zest from 1 orange
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp orange extract
- A few drops of orange food coloring
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, divided
Instructions
- Prepare the White Chocolate Base: Place the white chocolate melting chips in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Infuse the Cream with Orange Flavor: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter and orange zest. Cook for about a minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir continuously to prevent it from scorching. Allow it to cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Melt the Chocolate: Strain the hot cream mixture through a fine sieve over the white chocolate chips. Let it sit for about a minute to melt the chocolate. Add the orange extract and a few drops of orange food coloring. Whisk the mixture until smooth.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until the mixture firms up.
- Shape the Truffles: Divide the confectioners’ sugar between two small bowls. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into balls.
- Coat the Truffles: Roll each truffle in the first bowl of confectioners’ sugar, then place them on a cookie sheet. Once all the truffles are coated, re-roll them in the second bowl of confectioners’ sugar for a double coating.
- Set and Store: Place the truffles in the freezer for 20 minutes to set. Transfer them to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
