Instructions

Follow these easy steps to make your truffles.

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Shape the Truffles

Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 1 hour.

Melt the Chocolate

While the truffles are freezing, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

Coat the Truffles

Dip each frozen truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Return to the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Set and Serve

Place the coated truffles in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until the chocolate is set. Enjoy your Creamsicle Truffles!

Storing Your Truffles

To maintain their fresh taste and delightful texture, store your Creamsicle Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to two weeks, but we guarantee they won’t last that long once your friends and family get a taste! If you want to keep them longer, they can also be frozen for up to three months, allowing you to enjoy them whenever the sweet tooth strikes.

When you’re ready to enjoy frozen truffles, simply take them out of the refrigerator and let them thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before serving. This will provide the best flavor and texture, ensuring that they're just as delicious as when you first made them.

Customize Your Truffles

Feeling adventurous? You can customize these Creamsicle Truffles to suit your taste preferences or to switch things up for different occasions. Consider adding a few drops of orange extract for an extra burst of citrus flavor, or mix in some finely chopped nuts for added texture. You can even experiment with different chocolate coatings, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate, for a delicious twist.

If you want to make them a bit more decadent, consider rolling them in crushed graham crackers or orange zest before serving. This extra layer of flavor and texture can elevate your truffles to an entirely new level of indulgence.

Serving Suggestions

When serving Creamsicle Truffles, presentation can elevate the entire experience. Use decorative cupcake liners for an appealing display, or arrange them on a dessert platter with fresh fruit, like strawberries or slices of orange, to enhance their citrus theme. Drizzling some melted chocolate or caramel on top of the plated truffles can also create an eye-catching presentation.

For an added touch, pair your truffles with a sweet beverage, such as a glass of creamy orange soda or a chilled dessert wine. These complementary flavors will enhance the overall experience, making every bite and sip a delightful celebration of flavors.
