Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by chopping your white chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure it melts evenly. In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, gently heat the chocolate, stirring frequently. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, orange zest, orange extract, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until it is light, fluffy, and smooth.
- Once the melted white chocolate has cooled slightly but is still pourable, slowly incorporate it into the cream cheese mixture. Stir gently until completely combined.
- Transfer the combined mixture into a shallow dish and cover tightly. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
- After chilling, remove the mixture from the refrigerator and roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- If desired, melt additional white chocolate for dipping, or prepare a plate with orange sanding sugar. Dip each truffle into melted chocolate, then roll in sanding sugar.
- Return the decorated truffles to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to set.
