These simple Orange Creamsicle Truffles are absolutely delightful! They melt in your mouth with a sweet orange taste that combines perfectly with white chocolate, butter, and cream. After chilling and shaping into balls, they’re coated with powdered sugar. They’re incredibly tasty and surprisingly easy to make, requiring only six ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 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
Directions:
- Put your chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set it aside with a sieve on top.
- In a saucepan, add your butter and orange zest and melt it over low heat. Once all butter has melted and its boiling for about a minute, add the cream and mix. Cook for another minute over low heat. Keep stirring with a silicon spatula to avoid burning at the bottom.
- Remove from heat and pour it over the white chocolate through the sieve to catch all zest. Press the zest against the sieve to extract as much flavour possible. Let it sit for about a minute.
- If adding orange extract and colour, add them now and whisk until you get a smooth mixture. (if you feel white chocolate isn’t melting and the mixture isn’t hot enough anymore to melt it, microwave for 10 seconds).
- Cover the bowl with a clingfilm and refrigerate for 1-2 hours till it’s firm enough to roll balls.
- Lightly dust your hands with some icing sugar. Take some icing sugar in a small bowl for rolling. Scoop out a small spoonful of mixture and roll them into smooth balls. Roll them in icing sugar.
- Store these Orange Creamsicle Truffles in an airtight container and freeze them for 20-25 minutes if you want to eat them straight away, else they can be stored for a week in the fridge.
Enjoy these delightful no-bake orange creamsicle truffles as a sweet and tangy treat!Â
