Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and confectioners' sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the fresh orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Blend well until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour. This chilling time helps the filling firm up for easier shaping.
- Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the filling. Roll each portion into a ball, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the rolled truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and return them to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to set.
- While the truffles are chilling, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil.
- Heat the mixture in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Remove the truffles from the refrigerator. Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are well-coated.
- After coating, place the truffles back on the parchment-lined tray. While the chocolate is still melted, sprinkle any optional toppings you desire.
- Allow the truffles to sit at room temperature until the chocolate coating hardens. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
Notes
These truffles are best enjoyed chilled and can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
