These Orange Creamsicle Truffles are a delightful no-bake treat combining creamy white chocolate and tangy fresh orange flavors. Smooth cream cheese, white chocolate, and fresh orange zest and juice create a luscious citrus filling that’s chilled and shaped into bite-sized balls, then optionally coated in melted candy melts for a polished finish. Perfect for citrus lovers looking for an easy, elegant dessert or party sweet.

Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh orange zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Coating (Optional)

  • White or orange candy melts, for coating truffles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Citrus Cream Base: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, fresh orange zest, and fresh orange juice. Beat the ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and fragrant with citrus aroma, creating the flavorful base for the truffles.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. Once fully melted and smooth, allow it to cool slightly but remain liquid for easy incorporation.
  3. Combine Chocolate and Cream Mixture: Slowly pour the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture while stirring continuously. Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly until all components are fully blended into a luscious, thick batter.
  4. Chill and Shape the Truffles: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 1 to 2 hours until it firms up sufficiently to handle. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, form bite-sized balls and place them evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
  5. Coat the Truffles (Optional): Dip each chilled truffle into melted white or orange candy melts to create a smooth and glossy coating. Place coated truffles back on parchment paper and let them set completely until firm and ready to serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • When melting chocolate, be careful not to overheat to prevent graininess or burning.
  • The candy melt coating is optional but adds a beautiful finish and helps with handling.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Use fresh orange zest and juice for the best citrus flavor; bottled juice will not provide the same freshness.
