Instructions:
- Prepare the Ganache: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and butter. Heat until the mixture just begins to simmer.
- Melt the Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Flavor the Ganache: Stir in the orange extract and orange zest. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Chill the Ganache: Cover the saucepan and refrigerate the mixture for approximately 1 hour, or until it has firmed up enough to be easily handled.
- Form the Truffles: Once the ganache is firm, use a small scoop or spoon to form it into 1-inch balls. Place the formed truffles onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
- Coat the Truffles: In a shallow dish, combine the powdered sugar and finely crushed vanilla wafers. Roll each truffle in this mixture until it is completely coated.
- Chill and Serve: Store the finished Orange Creamsicle Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them. Enjoy!
