Description
A creamy, white chocolate based truffle infused with fresh orange zest and extract, mimicking the classic creamsicle flavor.
Ingredients
12 oz high-quality white chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons fresh orange zest
1 teaspoon orange extract or emulsion
1/2 cup powdered sugar or orange candy melts for coating
Instructions
Step 1: Place the finely chopped white chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl.
Step 2: Heat the heavy cream, butter, and orange zest in a small saucepan over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
Step 3: Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Add the orange extract and stir gently until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Step 5: Cover with plastic wrap touching the surface and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until firm.
Step 6: Scoop tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls with your hands.
Step 7: Roll in powdered sugar or dip in melted orange candy melts. Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Ensure your white chocolate has real cocoa butter to prevent the truffle mixture from becoming too oily or failing to set.
