Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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 orange food coloring
  • 1/2 cup confectioners sugar (divided)

Instruction

  • Place white chocolate melting chips in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Combine butter and orange zest in a saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and stir to prevent scalding the cream.
  • Keep stirring for another 2 minutes, then pour the mixture through a fine strainer over the white chocolate melting chips.
  • Let the mixture sit and melt the white chocolate for about a minute, and add in the orange extract and orange food coloring. Whisk until mostly melted. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
  • Divide confectioners sugar between two small bowls.
  • Begin scooping tablespoon-size balls of truffle mixture and rolling them into balls.
  • Roll each truffle in one of the bowls of the confectioners sugar before placing on a cookie sheet. Once all of the truffles have been rolled, re-roll them in the second bowl of confectioners sugar and place the truffles in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
  • Transfer to the fridge until ready to serve.
