Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups candy coating or white chocolate
- extra orange zest
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, gently heat ¾ cup of heavy cream over low heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour the hot cream over 2 cups of white chocolate chips in a mixing bowl. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Add the zest of one orange and 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice, whisking well to combine.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for about 1 to 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm to the touch.
- Once the ganache is set, scoop out small portions and roll each into a ball, about 1 inch in diameter. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While the truffles chill, prepare the coating by placing 2 cups of candy coating or white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled truffle into the melted coating, ensuring full coverage. Let excess coating drip off before placing on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Before the coating sets completely, sprinkle a little extra orange zest over the top of each truffle.
Notes
- Substitute coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
- Use pure vanilla extract for a richer flavor.
- Swap graham crackers with gluten-free crackers if needed.
- Reduce powdered sugar for a less sweet treat.
- Consider colored coating for festive occasions.
