Orange Creamsicle Truffles

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup white chocolate chips
¼ cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon orange zest
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
½ teaspoon orange extract
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 drop orange food coloring
¼ cup powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS:

Add the white chocolate chips to a medium bowl and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and orange zest together. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
As soon as the mixture comes to a simmer, pour through a sieve into the white chocolate chips to strain out the orange zest. Allow the mixture to sit for 1 to 2 minutes to soften the chocolate.
Add the extracts and food coloring and whisk the mixture until smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated. The mixture may initially separate from the butter, but continue whisking/stirring and it will incorporate.
If needed, heat the mixture for 15 seconds at a time in the microwave if the chocolate has not melted all the way …
