How To Make Orange Creamsicle Truffles

Pour white chocolate chips in a medium-sized heat-proof mixing bowl and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine heavy whipping cream, butter and orange zest and turn to medium heat. Bring mixture to a low simmer while mixing and immediately remove once it begins to simmer along the edges of the mixture.

Roll into even balls before rolling through the powdered sugar to cover. Then place on the baking sheet with a little space between each truffle. Repeat scooping and rolling with all of the orange white chocolate mixture.

How Long Will Orange Creamsicle Truffles Last?

These truffles will last a week if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These truffles can also be frozen, and will taste best if eaten within about a month.

I like to let truffles warm up on the counter for a few minutes before serving but after being in the fridge or freezer, then enjoy!
