Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup orange candy melts (optional)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, orange zest, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and orange extract. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add graham cracker crumbs to the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and melted. Allow to cool for a minute before adding to the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the melted white chocolate into the mixture, stirring well to combine everything into a soft dough.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll each into a ball. Place the balls on a lined baking sheet.
- For an extra pop of color and orange flavor, melt orange candy melts according to package instructions. Dip each truffle into the melted candy, letting any excess drip off, and return to the baking sheet.
- While still wet, add colorful sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until set. Enjoy!
