ORANGE CREAMSICLE TRUFFLES

Delicious orange truffles that will remind you of all the creamsicle treats you had as a kid. Easy to make and a great snack for parties!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup white chocolate either chips or a finely chopped bar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp orange zest
• 3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 tsp orange extract
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar divided
• orange food coloring optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To start, put white chocolate chips in a small, wide container you can seal (like Tupperware) and set nearby. Also have a mesh strainer and a spatula within reach.
2. Add unsalted butter and orange zest to a small spatula and warm over medium heat. Once mixture begins to bubble, let cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently.
3. Add heavy whipping cream to the saucepan and quickly stir. Continue stirring for another 1-2 minutes or until bubbles begin to form along the edges of the saucepan. Remove saucepan from heat.
4. Pour orange butter mixture through the sieve over the white chocolate chips. Use the spatula to press the orange zest into the mesh, getting out all the oils and flavor you can. Discard the orange zest.
5. Let mixture sit for one minute, then add orange extract and food coloring (optional). Whisk until "most" of the orange chocolate has melted. It's okay if a few pieces remain. If the white chocolate still won't melt, try using this method. Important: white chocolate doesn't always melt well in the microwave, so be careful if you nuke it!
