Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamsicle Truffles
  1. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of heavy cream over low heat. Stir continuously until melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and gently fold in 1 tablespoon of orange zest, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of orange juice.
  2. Transfer the ganache into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
  3. Use a small cookie scoop to portion out the ganache. Roll each portion into smooth balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Melt 1 cup of orange-flavored candy coating or white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between until smooth.
  5. Dip each truffle into the melted coating, ensuring they're fully covered. Let excess drip off and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Sprinkle extra orange zest over the coated truffles if desired and allow to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
