Ingredients

  • 8 oz high -quality white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp fresh orange zest
  • 1 tsp orange extract
  • 1 drop orange gel food coloring
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted

Instructions

  • Place the finely chopped white chocolate in a medium heat-proof glass bowl.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and butter. Heat until the mixture just begins to simmer, then immediately remove from heat.
  • Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
  • Gently whisk the mixture starting from the center and moving outward until the ganache is completely smooth.
  • Stir in the orange zest, orange extract, and orange food coloring until the color is uniform.
  • Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ganache to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
  • Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the ganache into 1-inch balls. Roll briefly between your palms to smooth the surface.
  • Toss each truffle in a bowl of sifted powdered sugar until fully coated. Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill for an additional 15 minutes before serving.
