Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon orange extract (optional)
- 2 cups crushed vanilla wafer cookies or golden Oreos
For Rolling and Decoration (Optional)
- Powdered sugar for rolling
- Extra melted white chocolate or orange candy melts for drizzle
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Combine Flavors: Stir in the melted white chocolate, orange zest, and orange extract (if using) until everything is fully combined and the mixture has a rich, orange-infused creaminess.
- Fold in Crumbs: Gently fold the crushed vanilla wafers or golden Oreo crumbs into the cream cheese mixture until a soft, scoopable dough forms.
- Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour or until it is firm enough to shape into balls.
- Shape Truffles: Once chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into smooth balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Optional Decoration: If desired, roll the truffles in powdered sugar or drizzle them with extra melted white chocolate or orange candy melts to add extra sweetness and a festive look.
- Final Chill: Refrigerate the shaped truffles for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set before serving.
Notes
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For a festive presentation, top with additional orange sprinkles or extra orange zest.
- These truffles freeze well; keep them frozen for up to 2 months and thaw before serving.
