Method
- In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, fresh orange zest, and orange juice. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Use a double boiler or microwave to gently melt the white chocolate chips until silky and smooth. Let it cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the cream cheese.
- Gradually pour the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture while stirring continuously. Add vanilla extract and mix well until combined, creating a luscious filling.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 1-2 hours. This will help firm it up, making it easier to shape into truffles.
- Once chilled, use your hands or a small cookie scoop to form the mixture into bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray, spacing them apart.
- If desired, dip each truffle in melted white chocolate or orange candy melts to give them a shiny, sweet finish.
- Allow the coated truffles to set on parchment paper until they are firm and ready to be enjoyed.
Notes
For an extra pop of color, you can add a drop of orange food coloring to the melted white chocolate coating. Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
