Step 2: Shape the Truffles
- Once the filling is firm, use a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon to portion out the mixture.
- Roll each portion gently between your palms to form small, smooth balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the fridge for another 15–20 minutes to ensure they are firm before dipping.
Step 3: Coat the Truffles
- Melt the white chocolate for coating in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the coated truffle back onto the parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle immediately with orange-colored sugar or edible glitter before the coating sets.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate the coated truffles for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve chilled, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Tips for Perfect Truffles
- Room Temperature Chocolate: Avoid overheating the chocolate when melting; it can seize and become grainy.
- Flavor Boost: For an extra creamsicle flavor, add a tiny pinch of orange extract along with the zest.
- Uniform Size: Using a small cookie scoop ensures all truffles are the same size, which makes dipping easier.
