Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 1/2 cups white chocolate chips, divided
1 1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 tablespoon orange sanding sugar
Instructions
1. Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until completely smooth.
2. Melt 1 cup of the white chocolate chips and let it cool slightly.
3. Mix the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese, then stir in the crushed vanilla wafers, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and salt until a thick dough forms.
4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 30 to 45 minutes, until firm enough to scoop.
5. Roll the chilled mixture into 20 equal truffle balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
6. Freeze the truffle balls for 15 minutes so they are easier to coat.
7. Melt the remaining 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips in short intervals, stirring until smooth.
8. Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, let the excess drip off, and place it back on the lined tray.
9. Sprinkle the tops with shredded coconut and orange sanding sugar before the coating sets.
10. Chill the finished truffles for 20 minutes, or until the coating is firm.
Notes
Use fresh orange zest for the brightest creamsicle flavor.
Chill the filling well before rolling so the truffles keep their shape.
Dip the truffles in batches to keep the centers cold and the coating smooth.
