Ingredients
  

For the Truffles
  • 2 cups White Chocolate Chips try dark or milk chocolate for a different flavor
  • 3/4 cup Heavy Cream substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option
  • 2 tablespoons Orange Zest always use fresh zest for best flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract omit for a pure orange taste
  • 2 tablespoons Orange Juice swap with lemon juice for a vibrant twist
  • 1 cup Crushed Graham Crackers substitute with crushed cookies or gluten-free options
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar no substitutions needed for this key ingredient
For the Coating
  • 1 cup Orange-Flavored Candy Coating or White Chocolate colored candy melts are a fun alternative
  • 1 tablespoon Extra Orange Zest optional garnish for added color

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • small cookie scoop
  • parchment-lined baking sheet
  • fork or candy-dipping tool

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a heat-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in fresh orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract to create ganache.
  2. Transfer the ganache to the refrigerator and chill for 1 to 2 hours, until firm enough to scoop.
  3. Once chilled, roll the ganache into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the orange-flavored candy coating or white chocolate in 30-second increments until smooth.
  5. Dip each truffle in the melted coating, allowing excess to drip off before placing back on the baking sheet.
  6. Sprinkle extra orange zest on top of coated truffles while the coating is still wet.
  7. Let sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the coating is fully hardened, about 20-30 minutes.
