Preparation Steps
- In a heatproof bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler. Stir gently until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add orange zest, vanilla extract, and orange juice to the melted chocolate and cream mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Cover the ganache with plastic wrap and let it cool slightly before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for about 2 hours or until it’s firm enough to handle.
- Once the ganache is set, scoop out small portions using a melon baller or tablespoon, and roll them into smooth balls.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the orange-flavored candy coating or white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth.
- Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each rolled truffle into the melted coating. Tap off any excess coating and return the truffle to the baking sheet.
- Before the candy coating sets, sprinkle additional orange zest over the coated truffles.
- Once all truffles are coated, place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to harden.
