Ingredients:
- 1 cup white chocolate melting chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- Zest from 1 orange
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- A few drops orange food coloring
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, divided
Directions:
1. Prepare the White Chocolate:
Place the white chocolate melting chips in a medium bowl and set aside.
2. Infuse the Butter with Orange Zest:
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and orange zest. Cook for about 1 minute to infuse the butter with the orange flavor.
3. Add the Cream:
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to prevent scalding. Continue stirring for about 2 minutes, allowing the mixture to combine fully.
4. Melt the White Chocolate:
Pour the butter mixture through a fine strainer over the white chocolate melting chips. Let the mixture sit for about a minute to melt the chocolate.
5. Add Extract and Color:
Add the orange extract and a few drops of orange food coloring to the melted chocolate. Whisk the mixture until the chocolate is mostly melted and smooth.
6. Chill the Mixture:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until it becomes firm enough to shape.
7. Shape the Truffles:
Divide the confectioners sugar between two small bowls. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the truffle mixture and roll them into balls.
8. Coat the Truffles:
Roll each truffle in one of the bowls of confectioners sugar, then place them on a cookie sheet. Once all the truffles are rolled, re-roll them in the second bowl of confectioners sugar.
9. Set the Truffles:
Place the truffles in the freezer for 20 minutes to set. Once set, transfer them to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Serving:
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Chilling Time: 1-2 hours
- Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
- Servings: 12-15 truffles
Variations:
- Citrus Twist: Swap the orange extract for lemon or lime extract to create different citrus truffle flavors.
- Chocolate Coating: Instead of rolling the truffles in confectioners sugar, dip them in melted white or dark chocolate for a decadent treat.
Storage:
- Refrigerator: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freezer: These truffles freeze well. Store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
FAQs:
Q: Can I use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?
A: Yes, but the truffles will have a deeper chocolate flavor and less of a “creamsicle” taste.
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! These truffles can be made a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator until serving.
Conclusion:
These No Bake Orange Creamsicle Truffles are a delightful, citrusy dessert that will brighten up any table. Easy to prepare and full of flavor, they are a fantastic no-bake option for parties or a sweet snack!
