• actieve tijd: 30 minutes
• totale tijd: 2 hours 55 minutes

Ingrediënten

1 cup chopped white chocolate

1/4 cup unsalted butter

2 tablespoons orange zest

3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

1/2 teaspoon orange extract

oil-based orange food coloring (optional)

1/2 cup powdered sugar (divided)

Instructies

Add white chocolate to a small, wide container with a sealable lid (like Tupperware) and set nearby. Also have a strainer and a spatula within reach.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring unsalted butter and orange zest to a boil. Once bubbling, let cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly.

While continuing to whisk, pour in heavy whipping cream. Continue to cook and whisk for another 1-2 minutes or until bubbles begin to form along edges. Remove saucepan from heat.

Hold strainer over prepared container with white chocolate, then pour orange butter mixture through strainer. Use a spatula to press orange zest into the mesh, extracting as much oil and flavor as you can. When finished, discard contents in strainer.

Let mixture sit for one minute, then add orange extract and food coloring (optional). Whisk until most chocolate is melted; a few solid pieces remaining is okay.

Seal container and chill in freezer for 1 hour or until mixture is firm enough to work with.

When ready, add 1/4 cup powdered sugar to a new sealable container and another 1/4 cup powdered sugar to a small bowl. Also have plenty of damp cloths or paper towels handy for cleanup.

Remove truffle mixture from freezer. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to scrape out about 1 tablespoon of mixture. Roll mixture between your hands to form a ball, then drop ball into bowl with powdered sugar. Toss truffle to coat, then place truffle in prepared storage container. Repeat this step until all mixture is used.

When all truffles are formed, seal storage container and gently shake it, covering truffles with remaining powdered sugar. Tip: Keep extra powdered sugar in container to shake and recoat truffles as needed.

Transfer storage container to freezer and allow truffles to chill for 1 hour or until firm.

Serve as desired.
