Method
Preparation
- Place the white chocolate melting chips into a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter and orange zest. Cook for about one minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to avoid scalding, and continue for another two minutes.
- Pour your mixture through a fine strainer over the bowl of white chocolate chips. Let it sit for about a minute to allow the chocolate to melt.
- Stir in the orange extract and a few drops of orange food coloring, whisking until mostly smooth.
- Cover your bowl with plastic wrap, and chill it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until firm.
Rolling and Freezing
- Once chilled, divide the confectioners' sugar between two small bowls.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the truffle mixture and roll them into balls.
- Roll each truffle in one of the bowls of confectioners' sugar and place them on a cookie sheet.
- Once all truffles are rolled, re-roll them in the second bowl of sugar.
- Freeze the truffles for 20 minutes to set. Then transfer them to the fridge until ready to enjoy.
