1-To start, gather all your ingredients and set up your workspace to make the process smooth. Pour the white chocolate chips into a mixing bowl and set them aside. Next, melt the butter with the orange zest in a small saucepan, stirring in the heavy cream and heating until small bubbles form around the edges.

2-Strain the hot cream mixture through a fine mesh sieve over the white chocolate chips, pressing the zest to release its oils, then add the orange extract. Let it rest for one minute before stirring until smooth, and add the optional food coloring if you want a fun color. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for two hours or until it’s firm enough to handle.

3-Once chilled, scoop heaping teaspoons of the mixture and shape them into balls, then roll them in the powdered sugar. For the final step, freeze the truffles for 20 minutes before serving to set them perfectly. For more ideas on similar treats, check out our easy chocolate truffles guide on the blog. Remember, you can adapt this for dietary needs, like using vegan chocolate for a plant-based option.
