Ingredients
12 oz white chocolate, chopped (plus extra for coating)
⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons fresh orange zest
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, to smooth coating)
Instructions
1. In a saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, orange zest, orange juice, butter, and salt over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until it slightly thickens (5–7 minutes).
2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Cool to room temperature, then chill for 1–2 hours until firm.
3. Scoop out the filling and roll into small balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes.
4. Melt white chocolate slowly using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Add coconut oil if needed.
5. Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Let excess drip off, then place on parchment paper.
6. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or orange zest before the coating sets.
7. Let truffles set completely at room temperature or chill to speed up.
8. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Notes
Use high-quality white chocolate bars for the smoothest melt and best flavor.
Don’t skip the chilling steps—this ensures easier rolling and clean dipping.
A tiny pinch of salt is key—it makes the citrus pop and balances the sweetness.
