Ingredients
-
2 ½ cups white chocolate chips
-
½ cup heavy cream
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-
Zest of 1 orange
-
½ teaspoon orange extract
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
-
Heat Cream Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, butter, orange zest, orange extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir gently and heat until it begins to simmer—don’t boil.
-
Melt Chocolate: Pour the hot cream mixture over the white chocolate chips in a mixing bowl. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
-
Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop and roll.
-
Form Truffles: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the truffle mixture and roll into smooth balls using your hands.
-
Coat with Sugar: Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until evenly coated.
-
Serve or Store: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Want more citrus punch? Add extra orange zest for a bolder flavor.
