Creamsicle Truffles

A Little Truffle History

Did you know chocolate truffles were born in France back in 1895? They got their name because they look just like those fancy mushrooms that grow underground. Pretty clever right?

Keeping Them Fresh

Keep your truffles in an airtight container in the fridge they’ll stay perfect for two weeks. Want them to last longer? Pop them in the freezer for up to three months. Pro tip use non dissolving powdered sugar for the coating it stays prettier longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why strain the orange zest mixture?

Straining removes the zest pieces while keeping the orange oils and flavor, creating a smooth truffle texture.

Can I use regular food coloring?

Use only oil-based food coloring as water-based types can make the chocolate seize up.

Why do my truffles need to chill twice?

The first chill firms the mixture for shaping, while the second sets the finished truffles for perfect texture.

How should I store these truffles?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Let soften slightly before serving.

Can I freeze these truffles?

Yes, they freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and re-roll in powdered sugar if needed.
