Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips  – Adds the creamy base.
  • ½ teaspoon orange flavor extract  – For that zesty, refreshing taste.
  • 3 drops orange food coloring  – Optional, for a beautiful orange hue.
  • ½ cup butter  – Adds richness and helps bind the ingredients.
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream  – For a smooth texture.
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar  – For that finishing dusted sweetness.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate

  1. In a medium, heat-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, orange extract, and food coloring. Set this mixture aside.

Step 2: Heat the Butter and Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Gradually increase to medium heat, adding in the heavy whipping cream while whisking.
  2. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to simmer, being careful not to overcook.

Step 3: Combine the Mixtures

  1. Carefully pour the heated butter and cream over the chocolate mixture, whisking until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Chill the Ganache

  1. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for an hour, or until the mixture becomes firm.

Step 5: Form the Truffles

  1. Once chilled, use a scoop to form 12 small balls, rolling each one in powdered sugar until fully coated.

Step 6: Chill Before Serving

  1. Refrigerate the truffles for another hour to set them before serving.

Notes

  • Choose Quality Chocolate: Using high-quality white chocolate can enhance the creaminess.
  • Experiment with Food Coloring: Adjust the orange food coloring based on your preference for a vibrant truffle.
  • Chilling Time: Make sure to chill the ganache completely before rolling, as this ensures the perfect texture.
