Ingredients
  

Truffle Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 0.25 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp pure orange extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh orange zest
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips melted and slightly cooled
Outer Coating
  • 12 oz orange candy melts
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil optional, for thinning melts
  • 2 tbsp white and yellow sprinkles for garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Hand Mixer
  • Dipping tool or fork

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second increments at 50% power, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, orange extract, and orange zest to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
  5. Gently fold the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture until completely incorporated.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until firm enough to roll.
  7. Scoop out the chilled mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Place the baking sheet with the rolled truffles into the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
  9. Melt the orange candy melts (with coconut oil, if using) in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  10. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted orange coating, tapping off the excess, and place back on the parchment paper.
  11. Immediately garnish with sprinkles or extra zest before the candy shell sets.
  12. Allow to set completely at room temperature before serving or storing in the refrigerator.
