Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- Orange sprinkles or additional zest for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until fully incorporated.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, orange zest, and fresh orange juice until well combined.
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 1 hour, or until firm enough to shape into balls.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze the truffles for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them back on the parchment paper.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the truffles with orange sprinkles or additional zest for garnish.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 10 minutes.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of orange liqueur to the mixture.
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
