Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| White chocolate (chopped or chips) | 8 oz |
| Heavy cream | 1/4 cup |
| Orange zest | 1 tablespoon |
| Orange extract | 1/2 teaspoon (or more to taste) |
| Powdered sugar (for coating) | 1 cup |
| Orange food coloring (optional) | As desired |
Instructions
- Make the Truffle Base:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped white chocolate and heavy cream.
- Melt the mixture over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and fully combined.
- Flavor the Truffles:
- Stir in the orange zest and orange extract. If desired, add a few drops of orange food coloring for a vibrant hue.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
- Shape the Truffles:
- Scoop out small portions of the chilled mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls with your hands. If the mixture becomes too soft, return it to the refrigerator to firm up again.
- Place the truffle balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Coat the Truffles:
- Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until well-coated. For a thicker coating, roll them a second time after the first layer absorbs slightly.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the coating to set.
