White Chocolate Orange Creamsicle Truffles perfectly fit for summer- a tasty no bake dessert which simply melts in your mouth.

The Perfect Summer White Chocolate Truffle Recipe

It’s almost a year since I tried the recipe for White Chocolate Lemon Truffles and really, they were a big hit. Since then, I always thought about trying a new flavor. As a food blogger, I always have to test new recipes, but truffles never seemed to get their turn. But, since the heat is coming, no bake desserts are the “it” thing again.

I was thinking about which aroma in the combination with white chocolate  would be the right choice for the summer. Of course, Orange Creamsicle was the first thing to come to mind. Who doesn’t like to cool off with an Orange creamsicle popsicle on a hot summer day?

The refreshing taste of orange and sweet white chocolate  are the real deal. And if these truffles are eaten cold out of the fridge (or straight out of the freezer) they really do look like a popsicle.

Except being tasty, they are very simple, for these Orange Creamsicle Truffles, you need only a few simple ingredients. And of course, an oven isn’t necessary.

White Chocolate Orange Creamsicle Truffles perfectly fit for summer- a tasty no bake dessert which simply melts in your mouth.

How to Make White Chocolate Orange Creamsicle Truffles

The only trick is that you really need patience to make them because the chocolate must be melted at a very low temperature. And in that low temperature, it needs more time to melt. But, by no means should you hurry!!! If you overheat it, the chocolate could be separated or sized and will be unusable. You must melt it at 105F at most and that means you can just about touch it with your fingers and not be burned.

Besides the possibility of making a mistake with heating the chocolate, you can have another problem, but it’s also easily solved. Since the truffle mix is cooled in the fridge at least for two hours, there is a possibility that the fat can single out and form a thin lair at the top even though you have covered it perfectly with plastic wrap.

The solution is to stir the mix a few times with a fork during the process of cooling. And after these few tricks, after two or three hours, you will get a smooth mass which is easily rolled into balls. And  if you have a problem there, which may be that the chocolate is melting in your hands and becoming sticky, just put on a little powder sugar on your hands and everything is solved.

Don’t let this scare you, I just wanted to help since, after the white chocolate lemon truffle recipe, a few of you told me about problems like these, so now I decided to make the instructions a little more detailed so you would make this summer treat without any problems and in a very short time.

Description

White Chocolate Orange Creamsicle Truffles are perfectly designed for summer, and are a tasty no bake dessert that simply melts in your mouth. This truffle recipe, made with creamy white chocolate, is a big win for orange lovers everywhere!


Ingredients

  • 8 oz. white chocolate-chopped into small pieces
  • 5 Tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 Tablespoon heavy cream
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • Orange(or red and yellow) food coloring-optional
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a small sauce pan melt butter, add heavy cream and stir to combine, then stir in salt, orange extract and food coloring and stir again to combine, set aside.
  2. Over a double boiler melt chopped white chocolate, stirring casually until smooth and completely melted. DO NOT over heat the chocolate!!! It takes some time to melt completely, but do not heat above 105F (if touched with finger, it will feel about the same temperature as your body), or the chocolate will separate and be unusable.
  3. Gently stir in lukewarm butter and heavy cream mixture into melted chocolate. NOTES!!!Butter and heavy cream mixture should be approximately the same temperature as melted chocolate before you combine them.
  4. Cool slightly, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours (or until firm enough to roll the balls).While it’s cooling, you can take it from the fridge, stir with a fork, cover again with plastic wrap and place back into the fridge.
  5. With a small spoon or a melon baller scoop out the mixture and roll into 1 inch balls. You can dust your hands with powdered sugar or if it’s too sticky drop a spoon of mixture into powder sugar,( it makes it much easier to roll into a ball) then roll it again in the sugar when the ball is formed.
  6. Roll each balls into powdered sugar to coat them well.
  7. Store in the fridge in airtight container up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.

Can you use orange juice and orange zest instead of the orange extract? I’d really prefer real orange to the extract. I know juice would normally make chocolate seize but since its being mixed with cream and butter I was hoping it would be ok any thoughts?

Reply
Vera Zecevic June 10, 2015 - 2:06 pm

Hi Michelle, you can use orange zest and boil it with the cream, let it sit for an hour, then strain and follow the recipe.

Hi how long do these last and do you need to keep them in the fridge ? Was thinking of using them in an advent calendar??

Mila June 21, 2015 - 7:39 pm

I would put strips of Orange peel in the warm cream mixture to steep like tea, but take it out before combining with the chocolate. Extracting the oils from the zest should do it. Just Be sure to not get pith in it or the whole thing will be bitter.

These look delicious!! I have had a problem with brown chocolate (milk and semi sweet) seizing but I did not know that white chocolate would also seize. Interesting! It is also nice to have a solution to the fat layer rising to the top. Good advice 🙂

sue June 14, 2020 - 8:45 pm

you have to be scrupulous about not getting even just a tiny bit of moisture in the chocolate–that is what makes it seize. Melt over hot but never bubbling water, off the stove is best. stir till it gets about 82 degrees–then it will not separate or “bloom” with a white powdery look when room temp. The process is called ‘tempering’.

Just in case anyone still wants to know, you certainly can. I make a version of these truffles – mine include a couple of tablespoons of naturally coloured and flavoured orange cordial – and I always coat them.

Jennifer H December 13, 2016 - 7:55 pm

So I made these, but substituted a few ingredients (I know! Sorry!). They taste good, but are not firm. They are more the consistency of not-set fudge and have been in the fridge for 2 days (hoping to firm them up). I used white chocolate morsels in place of actual white chocolate, milk in place of cream, zest in place of flavoring, and margarine in place of butter. Do you have any suggestions on how to firm them up? I thought about mixing powdered sugar in, then rolling in powdered sugar, but was afraid it would be too sweet. Thanks!

Reply
Heidi December 24, 2016 - 6:14 pm

i think your only problem that caused them to not set up, was the milk instead of cream.. the heavy whipping cream is thicker than regular milk.. other than that, the rest of your substitutions are fairly equal to the listed ingredients..

Reply
Wilson William June 14, 2020 - 4:41 pm

the margarine is probably part of the problem also… that is substituting vegetable oil for cream…

Reply
Marie Kellum June 15, 2020 - 12:31 am

Definitely the margarine. Margarine is not even close to being butter, especially when using as an ingredient. Margarine will never firm up. Is there anything in the recipe that you DIDN’T substitute?!

For this recipe you will have to melt the white chocolate separately then combine with warm cream and butter mixture. Butter and heavy cream mixture should be approximately the same temperature as melted chocolate before you combine them.

I used orange extract, vanilla and Fiori di Sicilia in one teaspoon. I used mostly orange extract, a little vanilla and a little less of the Fiori di Sicillia. I didn’t want to mess up the recipe with too much extract so I stuck to one teaspoon. They were very good.

Reply
Lorraine June 20, 2020 - 12:08 pm

I’m a little confused. What do you do with the chocolate after it’s melted.

Reply
Roni B November 2, 2023 - 2:46 am

I made these using half the orange extract and 6 packets of True Orange. It punches up the flavor and minimizes the extract flavor, These have been a hit with everyone who tried them. I think I will make two batches this time…one using True Lemon and one using True Orange. Thanks for sharing
