For the Truffle Base

  • 1 tablespoon orange zest Adjust to taste based on preference.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional, but recommended.
For Coating

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil Can be omitted if using chocolate that melts easily.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Hand Mixer
  • Cookie scoop
  • Parchment Paper
  • microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of vanilla wafer crumbs, 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, ¼ cup of freshly squeezed orange juice, 1 tablespoon of orange zest, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, with a lovely orange hue, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the mixture to firm up, making it easier to handle.
  3. Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Melt the mixture in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
  5. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork to allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Carefully place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  6. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle each truffle with powdered sugar or your choice of topping. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to fully harden.
