Add Your Touch

Feel free to customize these White Chocolate Orange Creamsicle Truffles! Consider using different citrus fruits like lemon or grapefruit for a unique twist. Experiment with various toppings such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra layer of flavor.

Storing & Reheating

Store your White Chocolate Orange Creamsicle Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. These delightful treats are best enjoyed cold, straight from the fridge, no reheating required! The cool temperature enhances the creamy texture and vibrant flavors.

Here are some helpful tips to perfect your White Chocolate Orange Creamsicle Truffles:

• Ensure your white chocolate is high-quality to achieve the best melt and avoid a grainy texture; lower quality chocolate can be temperamental.

• When rolling the truffles, keep your hands slightly damp to prevent the mixture from sticking and maintain a smooth, uniform shape.

• Allow the truffle mixture to chill completely before rolling; this will make the process much easier and prevent the truffles from melting in your hands.

Delicious white chocolate orange creamsicle truffles recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 12 ounces good quality white chocolate, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons orange liqueur (Grand Marnier or Cointreau)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place the 12 ounces of finely chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
2. Step 2: Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute to soften the chocolate. Gently stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
3. Step 3: Stir in the orange liqueur, orange zest, and salt until everything is well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the chocolate mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm enough to scoop.
4. Step 4: Once firm, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out rounded portions of the truffle mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form a smooth ball. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Step 5: In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining 12 ounces of white chocolate with the vegetable shortening, stirring occasionally until smooth.
6. Step 6: Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the dipped truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with orange zest curls or sprinkles, if desired. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the coating to set completely before serving.

Notes

• Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to maintain their firm texture and prevent melting.
• While these are best enjoyed chilled, letting them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving enhances the creamy texture.
• Serve these elegant truffles as a delightful after-dinner treat, alongside a cup of coffee or a glass of dessert wine.
• For the smoothest coating, ensure the dipping chocolate is completely melted and free of lumps by stirring it frequently and gently over low heat.
