Easy Orange Creamsicle Truffles
Description
This recipe blends white chocolate chips with orange extract and orange food coloring, melted with butter and heavy whipping cream heated just to simmer. After mixing thoroughly, the smooth ganache is chilled until firm. The chilled mixture is then portioned into small balls and rolled in powdered sugar to form the truffles. Chilling again firms them for serving. The truffles offer a creamy mouthfeel and a citrusy, sweet flavor reminiscent of creamsicles.
These truffles serve well as individual desserts or party treats. Their size and coating make them easy to handle and share. The recipe requires chilling steps to achieve proper firmness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract flavor
- 3 drops Food Coloring orange
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Pour the white chocolate chips into a medium, heat-safe bowl. Add the orange extract and food coloring; set aside.
- In a medium sauce pan, heat the butter over low heat until melted. Increase the heat to medium and add the heavy whipping cream; whisk to combine. Cook just until the mixture begins to simmer. Do not allow it to simmer for more than a couple of seconds. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour the liquid over top of the white chocolate.
- Immediately whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate until the white chocolate orange ganache is chilled and firm.
- Scoop the chilled ganache into 12 small balls and roll between your hands until smooth. Roll each ball in powdered sugar.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator until firm, or about 1 hour.
