The Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make Easy Orange Creamsicle Truffles (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the printable recipe card):

• White chocolate chips
• Orange flavor extract
• Orange food coloring – I did not have any on hand, so I made my own with 1 part red and 2 parts yellow.
• Butter
• Heavy cream
• Powdered sugar

How to Make Orange Creamsicle Truffles

Begin by pouring the white chocolate chips along with the orange extract and food coloring into a medium heat-safe bowl. Set this aside while you move on to the next step.

In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over low heat until melted. Add the heavy cream and in crease the heat to medium. Whisk the butter and cream together and cook just until it begins to simmer. Do not let it simmer for more than a few seconds. Immediately pour the hot cream and butter over the white chocolate chips.

Begin whisking right away until all of the white chocolate is melted and smooth.

Refrigerate the orange white chocolate ganache until sold, which should take about 30 minutes. Scoop the dough into small balls and roll between your hands until smooth.

Roll and truffle in powdered sugar and place on a small cookie sheet.

Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until firm. Serve immediately.

Variations

If Easy Orange Creamsicle Truffles sounds great to you but you want to try something different, here are some other ideas:

LEMON – As mentioned above, we made these truffles in a very similar way with lemon zest and extract. Click here to see the recipe.

STRAWBERRY – To make strawberry truffles, swap out the orange flavor for strawberry flavor extract and use just a drop of two of red food coloring.

VANILLA WHITE CHOCOLATE – Omit the food coloring and use vanilla extract instead of orange for a wonderful white chocolate truffle.

How to Store the Truffles

Keep the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The truffles will stay fresh for up to 5 days. They will be very firm right from the refrigerator and soften at room temperature.
