Can I use regular oranges instead of orange juice concentrate?

While fresh orange juice can work, it may alter the consistency of the mixture. It's best to stick with orange juice concentrate for the truffles.

How do I prevent the white chocolate from hardening too much?

To keep the white chocolate workable, only melt small amounts at a time and ensure you're working quickly when coating the truffles.

Can I make these truffles vegan?

Yes! Substitute the unsalted butter with vegan butter and use dairy-free chocolate chips or candy melts.

How do I know when my truffles are fully chilled?

They should be firm to the touch and not stick to your fingers. If they're soft, give them a bit more time in the refrigerator.

What can I do if my truffle mixture is too wet?

If the mixture is too wet, gradually add more crushed vanilla wafers until you achieve a firmer consistency suitable for rolling.

Ingredients

Scale

Essential Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups (180 g) powdered sugar
1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups (120 g) finely crushed vanilla wafers
1/4 cup (60 ml) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 tsp orange zest (optional, for extra flavor)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (200 g) white chocolate chips or candy melts (for coating)

Optional Add-Ons:

Colorful sprinkles (for decoration)
Extra orange zest (for garnish)

Instructions

Mix the Base: In a large bowl, beat softened butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add Flavor: Stir in thawed orange juice concentrate, orange zest (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
Incorporate Wafers: Gradually mix in the finely crushed vanilla wafers until a soft dough forms.
Form Truffles: Roll tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture into smooth balls using your hands.
Chill: Place truffle balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt Chocolate: While truffles chill, melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Coat Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into melted white chocolate using a fork. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing on parchment paper.
Decorate: Immediately sprinkle with optional decorations like sprinkles or extra zest while the coating is still soft.
Final Chill: Refrigerate coated truffles for at least 15–20 minutes until the chocolate sets completely.
Serve: Enjoy straight from the fridge or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

Use a cookie scoop for even-sized truffles.
If the dough is too soft to roll, chill it for 10 minutes before shaping.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
