Description

These no-bake Orange Creamsicle Truffles are a delightful and easy-to-make treat that combines the zesty freshness of orange with the creamy sweetness of white chocolate. Perfect for summer gatherings or as a refreshing dessert, these truffles have a smooth, creamy texture and a vibrant citrus flavor reminiscent of a classic creamsicle.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Mixture

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • Additional orange zest (for garnish, as needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and powdered sugar. Stir until these dry ingredients are well mixed.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Add the softened cream cheese, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a dough-like consistency forms that can be shaped.
  3. Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. This chilling step firms up the mixture, making it easier to shape into balls.
  4. Shape the truffles: Remove the mixture from the fridge. Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter. Arrange these balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  5. Melt the white chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  6. Coat the truffles: Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, fully coating it. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
  7. Add garnish: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle additional orange zest on top of each truffle for a bright, fresh garnish.
  8. Set the coating: Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to allow the white chocolate coating to harden fully before serving.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • To crush graham crackers, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  • White chocolate can easily burn if microwaved too long, so heat in short bursts and stir frequently.
  • For a stronger orange flavor, increase orange zest by up to 1 tablespoon.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 5 days for best freshness.
