No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Truffles Recipe
Creamy, no-bake truffles with a white chocolate ganache center infused with bright orange zest and vanilla. Each truffle is dipped in a sweet white chocolate coating for the perfect bite-sized creamsicle experience.
Equipment
- Heatproof bowl
- small saucepan
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
For the Orange Truffle Filling
- 12 oz high-quality white chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp fresh orange zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp orange extract optional
For the White Chocolate Coating
- 16 oz white chocolate chips or vanilla candy melts
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening
- Orange food coloring optional
- Orange sanding sugar or extra orange zest for garnish
Instructions
- Place 12 oz of white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Heat heavy cream and butter in a saucepan until just simmering, then pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Add orange zest and extracts to the bowl. Stir gently until the ganache is smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm.
- Scoop and roll the chilled ganache into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt 16 oz of white chocolate (or candy melts) with coconut oil in the microwave until smooth. Stir in orange food coloring if desired.
- Dip each truffle into the melted coating, let the excess drip off, and place back on the baking sheet. Garnish immediately. Let them set until the coating is firm.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality white chocolate. Chilling the rolled truffle balls in the freezer for 15 minutes before dipping makes the coating process much easier.
