Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 1 cup vanilla wafers, crushed
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix the base ingredients: In a bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Form the truffles: Shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Chill the truffles: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the truffles to firm up and hold their shape.
- Melt the coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips together with the coconut oil in short intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Dip the truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each chilled truffle completely in the melted white chocolate mixture, allowing excess to drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Set the chocolate: Return the coated truffles to the refrigerator and chill until the white chocolate is fully hardened and set, approximately 15–20 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, the truffles are ready to be served as a delicious, creamy, and zesty dessert treat.
Notes
- For easier dipping, refrigerate the truffle balls until very firm before coating in chocolate.
- You can substitute orange zest with lemon or lime zest for a citrus twist.
- Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow the truffles to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for a smoother, richer coating.
