Ingredients
Scale
For the Truffles:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon orange flavor extract
- 3 drops orange food coloring
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the White Chocolate Mixture: Pour the white chocolate chips into a medium, heat-safe bowl. Add the orange extract and food coloring; set aside.
- Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over low heat until melted. Increase the heat to medium and add the heavy whipping cream; whisk to combine. Cook just until the mixture begins to simmer. Do not allow it to simmer for more than a couple of seconds. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour the liquid over top of the white chocolate.
- Blend the Ingredients: Immediately whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Chill the Ganache: Cover the bowl and refrigerate until the white chocolate orange ganache is chilled and firm.
- Shape the Truffles: Scoop the chilled ganache into 12 small balls and roll between your hands until smooth. Roll each ball in powdered sugar.
- Chill and Serve: Chill the truffles in the refrigerator until firm, or about 1 hour.
