Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Florida’s Natural No Pulp Orange Juice
  • zest of 1 medium orange
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp orange extract
  • powdered sugar for topping

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, heat the orange juice and zest over low heat to steaming.
  • After 5 minutes of steaming, add the butter to the pan. Allow the butter to melt completely.
  • Add the white chocolate chips to a separate mixing bowl. Strain the orange juice-butter mixture over the chocolate chips and allow the chips to melt.
  • Whisk the chocolate and liquids together until smooth. Lastly, stir in the orange extract.
  • Cover the bowl and allow the mixture to cool in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Use a teaspoon to scoop the mixture into balls. Lightly coat your hands with the powdered sugar and roll the balls into a round shape before rolling them in the powdered sugar.
  • Freeze the powdered orange truffles until you’re ready to enjoy.

Notes

  1. Room Temperature: If you're planning on devouring them within a day or two, just keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. Choose a spot away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to keep them in tip-top shape.
  2. Refrigerate: For a longer shelf life, place the truffles in an airtight container lined with parchment paper to keep them from sticking. They'll stay good in the fridge for up to two weeks. Just remember to let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving - it brings out the flavors and that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  3. Freeze: Got more self-control and want them to last even longer? Freeze 'em! Place the truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them into an airtight container or a heavy-duty freezer bag. They'll keep for several months. Thaw by placing them in the fridge for a few hours, then let them stand at room temperature for a bit before serving.
