Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup high-quality white chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting and coating)

Optional Coatings

  • Melted white chocolate (for dipping)
  • Crushed freeze-dried orange pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Mixture: Heat the heavy cream gently in a small saucepan until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and freshly grated orange zest. Let the mixture infuse for 5 minutes to develop a vibrant citrus flavor.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Pour the warm cream mixture over the chips and let it sit for 2 minutes, then gently stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, forming a luscious ganache base.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ganache for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop and shape without sticking to your fingers.
  4. Shape the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the chilled ganache and roll it into small balls with your hands. Lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar to prevent sticking and keep your hands cool for easier shaping.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Dip each ganache ball into melted white chocolate or roll it in powdered sugar or crushed freeze-dried orange pieces to create a decorative finish. Place the coated truffles on parchment paper and chill again until firm.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Your Orange Creamsicle Truffles are ready to enjoy! Serve chilled for the best texture and bright citrus flavor in every bite.

Notes

  • Use fresh orange zest for maximum aroma and brightness.
  • Ensure cream and chocolate are not too hot to avoid grainy ganache.
  • Dip hands in cold water occasionally to prevent ganache melting while shaping.
  • Chill ganache thoroughly for easy rolling and less stickiness.
  • Store truffles refrigerated and take them out a few minutes before serving for optimal texture.
