Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • ¼ cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • Orange sprinkles or additional orange zest for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Add Orange Flavors
  5. Mix in the vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice. Combine thoroughly for a creamy, tangy base.
  6. Chill the Mixture
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to shape into balls.
  8. Shape the Truffles
  9. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to form 1-inch balls from the mixture. Roll them between your hands for an even shape.
  10. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  11. Freeze the Truffles
  12. Freeze the shaped truffles for at least 30 minutes. This ensures they hold their shape during coating.
  13. Melt the White Chocolate
  14. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
  15. Coat the Truffles
  16. Dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
  17. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  18. Garnish
  19. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the truffles with orange sprinkles or extra zest for a decorative finish.
  20. Final Chill
  21. Refrigerate the coated truffles for 10 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
  22. Serve and Enjoy
  23. Once set, serve the truffles immediately or store them for later.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: Truffles can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Customizations: Add a drop of orange food coloring for vibrant truffles, or substitute white chocolate with dark chocolate for a twist.
  • Dairy-Free Version: Use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut-based white chocolate.
