Orange Creamsicle Truffles
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp fresh orange zest
- 1 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- White or orange candy melts for coating truffles
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, fresh orange zest, and a splash of orange juice. Beat together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with the vibrant aroma of citrus filling your kitchen.
- Gently melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once fully melted and velvety smooth, allow it to cool slightly but remain liquid.
- Slowly pour the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture while stirring constantly. Add vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully incorporated into a luscious, thick batter.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for about 1-2 hours until firm enough to scoop. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, form bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Dip each truffle into melted white or orange candy melts to create a smooth, shiny coating. Let them set on parchment paper until firm and ready to serve.
