Ingredients
  

For the Truffle Mixture
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Softened; can substitute with mascarpone or vegan cream cheese.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar For lower sugar, consider using erythritol-powdered sugar.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Orange Zest Can substitute with lemon zest.
  • 2 tablespoons Orange Juice Fresh juice recommended for best flavor.
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips Use gluten-free if necessary.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract No substitutions recommended.

  • microwave-safe bowl
  • cookie scoop
  • parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, the zest of one fresh orange, and a splash of orange juice. Use a hand mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently. This should take about 1-2 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly before folding into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Drizzle in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to firm up the mixture.
  5. Scoop out bite-sized portions, roll them into balls, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Melt additional white chocolate or orange candy melts, dip each truffle into the coating, and allow excess to drip off.
  7. Let the coated truffles sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 15-30 minutes.
