Description

These No Bake Orange Creamsicle Truffles are a delightful, easy-to-make treat that captures the refreshing flavors of orange and creamy vanilla. Combining crushed graham crackers, cream cheese, and orange zest with a smooth white chocolate coating, these truffles are perfect for a quick dessert or bite-sized indulgence. With no baking required, they come together quickly and offer a luscious creamsicle-inspired flavor in every bite.


Ingredients

Truffle Mixture

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating and Garnish

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (for coating)
  • Additional orange zest (as needed for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the crushed graham crackers and powdered sugar until evenly mixed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the softened cream cheese, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up the mixture, making it easier to shape into balls.
  4. Form Truffles: Using your hands, shape the chilled mixture into small 1-inch diameter balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until smooth and completely melted.
  6. Coat Truffles: Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, making sure it is fully coated, then return to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Add Garnish: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle additional orange zest on top of each truffle for a fresh burst of citrus flavor and a decorative touch.
  8. Set Truffles: Refrigerate the coated truffles for at least 30 minutes to allow the white chocolate to harden completely before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Use fresh orange zest for the best citrus flavor and aroma.
  • If white chocolate thickens while melting, add a small splash of milk or cream to smooth it out.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 4-5 days for optimum freshness.
  • You can substitute orange juice with mandarin orange juice for a sweeter variation.
