Ingredients
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
¼ cup powdered sugar
-
1 teaspoon orange zest (from about 1 orange)
-
1 tablespoon orange juice (freshly squeezed)
-
2 cups white chocolate chips (for the truffle center)
-
8 oz white chocolate (for coating the truffles)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Orange sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
-
Make the truffle mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
-
Add flavoring: Stir in the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
-
Melt the white chocolate chips: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth. Once melted, stir it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
-
Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll into balls.
-
Shape the truffles: Once the mixture has chilled and is firm, scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls using your hands.
-
Coat the truffles: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining white chocolate for coating. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift them out and tapping gently to remove any excess chocolate. Place the dipped truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Decorate and chill: If desired, sprinkle the truffles with orange sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet, or leave them plain. Chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes to allow the coating to set.
-
Serve: Once the white chocolate coating has hardened, serve the truffles chilled. They’re ready to enjoy!
