Description
Delicious white chocolate truffles with a hint of orange.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz. white chocolate, chopped into small pieces
- 5 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 Tablespoon heavy cream
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- Orange (or red and yellow) food coloring, optional
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan melt butter, add heavy cream and stir to combine, then stir in salt, orange extract and food coloring and stir again to combine, set aside.
- Over a double boiler melt chopped white chocolate, stirring casually until smooth and completely melted. DO NOT over heat the chocolate!!!
- Gently stir in lukewarm butter and heavy cream mixture into melted chocolate. Butter and heavy cream mixture should be approximately the same temperature as melted chocolate before you combine them.
- Cool slightly, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours (or until firm enough to roll the balls). While cooling, you can take it from the fridge, stir with a fork, cover again with plastic wrap and place back into the fridge.
- With a small spoon or a melon baller scoop out the mixture and roll into 1 inch balls. You can dust your hands with powdered sugar or if it’s too sticky drop a spoon of mixture into powdered sugar, then roll it again in the sugar when the ball is formed.
- Roll each ball into powdered sugar to coat them well.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Butter and heavy cream mixture should be approximately the same temperature as melted chocolate before you combine them.
