Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp fresh orange zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Coating

  • White or orange candy melts for coating truffles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Citrus Cream Base: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, fresh orange zest, and a splash of orange juice. Beat together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with the vibrant aroma of citrus filling your kitchen.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once fully melted and velvety smooth, allow it to cool slightly but remain liquid.
  3. Combine Chocolate and Cream Mixture: Slowly pour the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture while stirring constantly. Add vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully incorporated into a luscious, thick batter.
  4. Chill and Shape the Truffles: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for about 1-2 hours until firm enough to scoop. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, form bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Coat the Truffles (Optional): Dip each truffle into melted white or orange candy melts to create a smooth, shiny coating. Let them set on parchment paper until firm and ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh zest: Always zest your oranges before juicing to avoid losing that vibrant flavor.
  • Temperature matters: Make sure the chocolate isn’t too hot when mixing in to prevent hardening or clumping.
  • Chill well: Proper refrigeration helps the truffles firm up and makes coating easier.
  • Use a cookie scoop: For uniform truffles that look professional and serve evenly.
  • Store airtight: Keep the truffles in a sealed container to maintain freshness and texture.
