Description
These easy no-bake orange creamsicle truffles capture the nostalgic flavor of a creamsicle in a bite-sized treat. With a creamy orange center coated in white chocolate, they are perfect for parties or a sweet snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers, for coating
- Orange food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Stir in orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring until a thick dough forms. If mixture is too sticky, add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll.
- Roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
- Melt white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. If desired, add a few drops of orange food coloring.
- Dip each frozen truffle into melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the baking sheet.
- Refrigerate until coating is set, about 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a stronger orange flavor, add more zest. If you prefer a darker chocolate coating, use semi-sweet chocolate instead of white chocolate.
