Orange Truffles (Print)
Easy no-bake orange truffles with a rich, creamy citrus kick and sweet powdered sugar coating.
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/4 tsp vanilla extract.
02 -
3 tbsp heavy cream.
03 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter.
04 -
1 drop orange food coloring.
05 -
1 tbsp grated orange zest.
06 -
1/4 cup powdered sugar.
07 -
1/2 tsp orange extract.
08 -
1 cup white chocolate chips.
# Steps:
01 -
Put the white chocolate chips in a small bowl and leave them there for now.
02 -
Melt butter in a little saucepan and mix in grated orange zest. Stir it all together to soak up the orange flavor. Add the cream and gently heat it until it just starts to bubble.
03 -
Strain the buttery mixture through a fine strainer directly onto the white chocolate to catch the zest.
04 -
Mix in vanilla extract, orange extract, and a single drop of orange food coloring to brighten things up.
05 -
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it into the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour until it firms up.
06 -
Using a scoop or spoon, take 1 or 1½ tablespoons of the mixture and roll into rounds with your hands.
07 -
Roll the truffle balls in powdered sugar and set them on parchment or wax paper.
08 -
Stick the truffles back in the fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour before digging in.
# Notes:
01 -
Rich, creamy bites with a burst of orange flavor, inspired by the nostalgic creamsicle.
02 -
Great as a light dessert or when you're craving something tangy and sweet.
