Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup butter unsalted, softened
- 1/2 medium orange- zest only about 2 teaspoons of orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 drops Orange food coloring
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Pour white chocolate chips in a medium-sized heat proof mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine heavy whipping cream, butter and orange zest and turn to medium heat. Bring mixture to a low simmer while mixing and immediately remove once it begins to simmer along the edges of the mixture.
- Pour warm whipping cream mixture over white chocolate chips and stir while the chocolate chips melt with a silicone spatula.
- Add salt, orange extract, and vanilla extract and mix well. Mix in the orange food coloring and mix until the mixture has a light orange coloring. Then cover and chill for one hour.
- Pour the powdered sugar onto a plate or bowl and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop truffles using a small cookie scoop, the dough will be thick but will scoop as it warms a little!
- Roll into even balls before rolling through the powdered sugar to cover. Then place on the baking sheet with a little space between each truffle. Repeat scooping and rolling with all of the orange white chocolate mixture.
- Place the truffles in the refrigerator to chill for an additional 20 minutes, then serve cold and enjoy!
