Ingredients

Scale

Ganache

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest (freshly grated)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)

Coating & Garnish

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange-flavored candy coating or white chocolate (for coating)
  • Extra orange zest (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the ganache: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and white chocolate chips. Stir continuously for 3-5 minutes until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth, making sure it does not boil.
  2. Add flavorings: Remove from heat and stir in freshly grated orange zest, vanilla extract, and freshly squeezed orange juice until fully combined. Allow the ganache to cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Chill the ganache: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm enough to scoop and roll into balls.
  4. Prepare workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for placing the truffles.
  5. Scoop ganache: Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the ganache into approximately 1-inch diameter scoops.
  6. Roll truffles: Roll each scoop between your palms to form smooth balls. Dust hands with powdered sugar if the ganache feels sticky.
  7. Place on baking sheet: Arrange the rolled truffles on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  8. Refrigerate again: Chill the truffles for another 30 minutes to firm up before coating.
  9. Prepare coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the orange-flavored candy coating or white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. If using white chocolate, add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to help with melting and dipping.
  10. Cool coating: Allow the melted coating to cool slightly but stay liquid for dipping.
  11. Dip truffles: Remove the truffles from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle fully into the melted coating, ensuring it is fully covered.
  12. Remove excess coating: Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to let excess coating drip off.
  13. Set truffles: Place the coated truffles back onto the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, garnish with extra orange zest for added flavor and decoration.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated orange zest and freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
  • If the ganache is too sticky when rolling, dust your hands with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
  • Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to white chocolate when melting to improve consistency for dipping.
  • Store truffles in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.
  • These truffles can be customized by using different flavored candy coatings or by adding a sprinkle of crushed nuts for texture.
