Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest (fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate

Coating

  • 12 oz white chocolate melting wafers

Optional Garnishes

  • Sprinkles
  • Finishing sugar
  • Fresh orange zest
  • Shredded coconut
  • Chopped pistachios

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Orange Cream Cheese Mixture: Soften cream cheese to room temperature. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange zest, vanilla extract, and orange juice concentrate. Mix thoroughly until smooth and evenly combined without lumps.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up, making it easier to handle for shaping.
  3. Form the Truffle Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoons, portion out the chilled mixture into uniform balls. Roll each ball smoothly between your palms and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill again for 30 minutes to ensure they hold their shape.
  4. Dip in Melted White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate wafers gently using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each truffle ball fully in melted chocolate. Allow any excess coating to drip off, then return the truffles to the parchment paper.
  5. Add Finishing Touches and Set: Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle optional decorations such as colored sugar, orange zest, or coconut flakes. Let the truffles rest at room temperature or refrigerate until the coating is fully set and firm.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and chocolate for smoother mixing.
  • Chill the mixture well to maintain shape during dipping.
  • Dip truffles in small batches to prevent chocolate from thickening.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze truffles on a baking sheet before transferring to a container; last up to 3 months.
  • Thaw frozen truffles in the refrigerator before serving; avoid microwaving.
  • Customize by using dark or milk chocolate coating, vegan substitutes, spices, or garnishes.
