Orange White Chocolate Treats (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Truffle Mix
01 -
1 cup premium white chocolate chips (we like Ghirardelli best)
02 -
1/4 cup sweet cream butter, unsalted
03 -
3 tablespoons full-fat cream
04 -
Grated peel from half an orange
05 -
1/2 teaspoon orange flavoring
06 -
2-3 drops orange color enhancer
07 -
Tiny bit of salt
→ Outer Layer
08 -
1/4 cup confectioners sugar for dusting
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a wide, flat container that has a cover and pour in your confectioners sugar. You'll use this later to coat your sweet treats.
02 -
Dump your white chocolate chips into a bowl that's not too big or small. Just put it aside while you work on the next part.
03 -
Slowly melt your butter with the orange peel in a small pot. Add your cream and warm it up until it's almost bubbling. Mix in the orange flavoring, a couple drops of color, and that tiny bit of salt to make everything taste better.
04 -
Pour your warm cream mix through a strainer onto the white chocolate to catch all the orange bits. Stir everything until it's all smooth and blended well.
05 -
Let it sit out for a bit to cool, then wrap it up and stick it in the fridge until it's firm enough to work with, usually 1-2 hours. Stir it with a fork every half hour so it cools evenly.
06 -
Scoop little heaps of the cold mix with a melon baller or cookie scoop and roll them into 1-inch balls. Quick tip: if it sticks to your hands, put a bit of powdered sugar on them.
07 -
Roll each ball in your powdered sugar until they're completely covered. For the best texture, chill them at least 30 minutes (or freeze for 20 if you're in a hurry) before you eat them.
# Notes:
01 -
These fancy candies taste just like those orange and vanilla popsicles you loved as a kid

Don't skimp on the chocolate - good quality white chocolate makes all the difference
03 -
Keep them in a sealed container in your fridge and they'll stay good for a week
