ORANGE CREAMSICLE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Pour white chocolate chips into a mixing bowl, set aside. Melt butter along with orange zest in a small saucepan. Stir in cream and scald mixture. Pour hot cream mixture through a fine mesh sieve over white chocolate chips and using a rubber spatula press zest against sieve to release orange oils into mixture, add orange extract.
• Allow mixture to rest 1 minute, add optional food coloring to white chocolate chip mixture then stir until smooth. Cover mixture and refrigerate 2 hours or until firm enough to handle.
• Scoop mixture out by heaping teaspoon fulls and form into balls then roll in powdered sugar. Freeze truffles 20 minutes then enjoy. Store truffles in refrigerator as they will soften at room temperature or freeze for up to 1 month.

EASY ORANGE CREAMSICLE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Pour the white chocolate chips into a medium, heat-safe bowl. Add the orange extract and food coloring; set aside.
• In a medium sauce pan, heat the butter over low heat until melted. Increase the heat to medium and add the heavy whipping cream; whisk to combine. Cook just until the mixture begins to simmer. Do not allow it to simmer for more than a couple of seconds. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour the liquid over top of the white chocolate.
• Immediately whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Cover the bowl and refrigerate until the white chocolate orange ganache is chilled and firm.
• Scoop the chilled ganache into 12 small balls and roll between your hands until smooth. Roll each ball in powdered sugar.
• Chill the truffles in the refrigerator until firm, or about 1 hour.

ORANGE CREAMSICLE CAKE/BALLS

Steps:

• 1. Cream butter and sugar well, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, continue beating.
• 2. Mix dry ingredients in another bowl and add to wet. Blend in flavorings, colors (*If desired), and liquids. Beat at high speed 2 minutes until fluffy and light.
• 3. Pour into greased 7" x 11" pan and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean. Cool completely.
• 4. For cake balls, crumble cake and mix with 1/2 c Orange DreamPudding to bind.
• 5. To make pudding, blend all ingredients together in mixer bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• 6. To make the centers, scoop several scant 1/4 teaspoon portions into a shallow bowl spread with 1/4 c powdered sugar. Gently and quickly roll each little pudding ball in the sugar and put on a plate. Work quickly so the heat of your hands doesn't melt the pudding. Freeze until time to insert into cake balls.
• 7. Stuff by first rolling cake ball. Use your little finger to push an indentation almost all the way through the center of the ball. Add the "pudding bon bon." Pinch to close and reroll. Refrigerate 15 minutes before dipping in chocolate or white chocolate.
• 8. As an alternative to dipping in candy melts, mix 3/4 cup powdered sugar with one pack of orange-flavored unsweetened soft-drink mix (kool-aid). Spread in shallow bowl and roll cake balls.
