Step-by-Step Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Drizzle in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to firm up the mixture.
- Scoop out bite-sized portions, roll them into balls, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt additional white chocolate or orange candy melts, dip each truffle into the coating, and allow excess to drip off.
- Let the coated truffles sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 15-30 minutes.

Notes
