Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Truffle Center
  • 14 oz golden vanilla sandwich cookies entire cookie, crushed
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 tbsp fresh orange zest
  • 1 tsp orange extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Candy Coating
  • 12 oz orange candy melts
  • 2 tbsp white sprinkles or chocolate shavings for garnish

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

  1. In a food processor, pulse the vanilla sandwich cookies until they form fine crumbs.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese, orange zest, orange extract, and vanilla extract to the crumbs. Pulse until a thick dough forms.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or freezer for 30 minutes) until firm.
  5. Melt the orange candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
  6. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted candy coating, tapping off the excess, and return to the parchment paper.
  7. Immediately garnish the wet truffles with white sprinkles or chocolate shavings before the coating sets.
  8. Let set at room temperature until the shell is hard. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing. If the candy melts are too thick, add a tiny bit of coconut oil to thin it out.
