Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- ½ cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts
Instructions
- Beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl until creamy and smooth.
- Stir in the thawed frozen orange juice concentrate, orange zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Fold in the crushed vanilla wafers until evenly distributed.
- Shape the mixture into small balls, about one inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill for 30 minutes.
- Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the dipped truffles back on the parchment paper. Add toppings if desired while the chocolate is still wet.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set.
Notes
- Use softened butter for easy mixing.
- Taste the mixture before shaping to ensure it is flavorful.
- Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and glossy for a smooth dip.
- Experiment with toppings like crushed nuts or sprinkles.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a stronger orange flavor, use the zest of a fresh orange.
