2 cups (120 g) finely crushed vanilla wafers
04 -
1/4 cup (60 ml) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
05 -

Extra orange zest
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in the orange juice concentrate, orange zest (if using), and vanilla extract. Add the crushed vanilla wafers and mix until a dough forms.
02 -
Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls. Place the truffle balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
03 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
04 -
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 -
Immediately sprinkle the truffles with sprinkles or orange zest before the coating hardens.
06 -
Refrigerate the truffles for 15-20 minutes to set the coating completely. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
# Notes:
01 -
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
02 -
Graham cracker crumbs can be used instead of vanilla wafers for a slightly different texture and flavor.
03 -
For a stronger orange flavor, add a few drops of orange extract.
