Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 12 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- White chocolate or orange candy melts, for coating
- Orange sprinkles or extra zest, for decoration
Instructions
- Warm the Cream: In a saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Melt the Chocolate: Remove from heat and stir in the chopped white chocolate until completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Flavor: Incorporate the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture, blending thoroughly.
- Chill: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to shape.
- Shape the Truffles: Using a melon baller or spoon, scoop out the mixture and roll into balls. If the mixture sticks, chill a bit longer or dust your hands with cocoa powder.
- Coat the Truffles: Melt additional white chocolate or candy melts. Dip each truffle into the chocolate, ensuring a complete coat.
- Decorate: Before the coating sets, sprinkle each truffle with orange sprinkles or zest for a decorative touch.
- Set: Allow the truffles to set on parchment paper until the coating is firm.
