Orange creamsicle truffles are easy to make and no-bake version of making a yummy truffle with the orange flavor to it. I love making chocolate truffles a lot and have made many truffles when I found this on Pinterest I couldn’t resist to give it a try. These add soft melt in mouth kind of truffles, My hubby said it tastes like the Indian orange mittai. These a super simple way to make truffles but yet delicious in taste. I always have stock of oranges as we drink a lot of freshly squeezed orange juice, so gave this a truffle a try. The only this is I didn’t have any orange food color so used yellow just a drop, you can skip it if. Apart from melting the chocolate in low temperature without burning, you can’t go wrong in this recipe. The taste of orange and chocolate marry so well and make you close your eye and enjoy 🙂 This is how my hubby reviewed these.
I am so glad to blog after a long break, had taken a super long break but didn’t stop cooking and trying new innovations though. Starting the first recipe post of 2018 with this melt in mouth no bake truffles. I spent more than an hour to photograph these, though recipe looks simple it was really challenging to photograph. Hope I have done justice to this yumminess. For people who follow my insta who guessed what I was about to shoot in my stories, revealing time – these are ones I shot. For this week’s BM theme I chose ” All that come round are ladoos”. The first thing came to my mind was why not truffles as they are round in shape and looks like ladoos. read more here
Recipe adapted from cooking classy
- White chocolate bar ( chopped) - 1½ cup
- Orange extract - ½ tsp
- Orange zest - 2 tbsp
- Butter - ¼ cup
- Heavy cream - 4 tbsp
- Confectionery sugar or powdered sugar - ½ cup
- Orange or yellow food color ( optional)
- Take the chopped chocolate in a clean bowl and melt it either in the microwave or use double boiler method as I did.
- To melt the chocolate in double boiler method, boil water in a saucepan and place the bowl with chopped chocolates on the sauce.
- See to that the chocolate doesn't have direct contact with the water. As it may ruin the chocolate (you know the rule chocolate and water are enemies).
- Keep stirring the chocolate until they melt completely. once the chocolate is all melted, keep them to cool a bit.
- Meanwhile, heat a saucepan add butter and melt it.
- Add the orange zest and saute them for few seconds.
- Lower the flame and add cream to the mixture and keep stirring.
- Once you see little bubbles popping from the edges of the pan, turn of the heat.
- Let the bubbles settle down and strain the orange zest butter mixture into the melted white chocolate.
- Use a spatula and press the orange zest so that all the essence from the zest comes out.
- Mix the chocolate and butter mixture well, then add orange extract and color if needed.
- Cover the bowl with a cling wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
- It should be firm enough so that you can roll under your palms and make balls.
- In a plate or tray add the sugar pd. Scoop or use a spoon to take a heaping orange truffle mixture and shape them into balls.
- Drop them in the sugar pd mixture and coat it all over.Do the same to the rest of the mixture.
- In the rolled truffles and leftover sugar pd in a container with a lid and shake it so the sugar pd gets coated all over the truffle.
- Refrigerate them for 20 more minutes. serve them when ready to eat.
