Orange Creamsicle Truffles
Yields: About 20 truffles
Ingredients:
½ cup orange zest
¼ cup orange juice
½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions:
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Add Orange Flavor: Stir in the orange zest and orange juice until well incorporated.
Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Roll the Truffles: Use a teaspoon to scoop out small portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into balls.
Coat in Powdered Sugar: Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until fully coated.
Serve or Store: Serve immediately, or store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Tips:
For a stronger orange flavor, add a few drops of orange extract in addition to the zest and juice.
You can substitute milk or dark chocolate chips for white chocolate for a different flavor.
If the mixture is too soft to roll, refrigerate for an additional 10-15 minutes.
