Step-by-Step Instructions for White Chocolate Orange Creamsicle Truffles
- Begin by chopping high-quality white chocolate into small, uniform pieces. Place the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water, or microwave it in 20-second intervals, stirring between each blast until it's completely melted and smooth. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, fresh orange zest, orange extract, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually pour the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly until fully integrated and creamy, ensuring there are no visible streaks.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mixture to firm up.
- Once chilled, use a cookie scoop to portion out the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each portion between your palms to create a smooth shape and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Dip each chilled truffle in melted white chocolate or roll them in orange sanding sugar. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined sheet. Chill the finished truffles for another 30 minutes until set.
