Orange Creamsicle Truffle Bites

Introduction

Orange Creamsicle Truffle Bites are a delightful no-bake dessert inspired by the classic
orange creamsicle we all love. These bite-sized treats combine creamy white chocolate,
zesty orange flavor, and a smooth chocolate coating for a refreshing and indulgent sweet.
Perfect for parties, holidays, or a quick homemade treat, they’re as easy to make as they
are irresistible.

Ingredients

• 8 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (or orange extract to taste)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs or crushed graham crackers
• 8 oz milk or dark chocolate, melted (for coating)
• Optional garnish: orange zest, white chocolate drizzle, or sprinkles

Instructions

1. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the melted white chocolate, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Stir in the vanilla wafer crumbs until a soft, rollable dough forms.
5. Chill the mixture for 30–45 minutes, or until firm enough to handle.
6. Scoop and roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Freeze the truffle balls for 15 minutes to help them set.
8. Dip each truffle into the melted milk or dark chocolate, coating evenly.
9. Return to parchment paper and garnish as desired.
10. Refrigerate until the chocolate coating is fully set.

Description

These Orange Creamsicle Truffle Bites are rich, creamy, and bursting with bright citrus flavor.
The smooth white chocolate center pairs beautifully with the fresh orange zest, while the outer
chocolate shell adds a satisfying snap. Each bite melts in your mouth with a sweet, refreshing finish.

Tips

• Use fresh orange zest for the best and brightest flavor.
• If the mixture is too soft, chill it longer before rolling.
• For a stronger orange flavor, add a few drops of orange extract instead of extra juice.
• Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Correction (Variations & Adjustments)

• Too soft? Add extra cookie crumbs, one tablespoon at a time.
• Too firm? Mix in a teaspoon of orange juice or cream.
• Dairy-free option: Use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan chocolate.
• Lighter option: Roll truffles in coconut flakes instead of dipping in chocolate.
