Directions:

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. Allow mixture to rest 1 minute, a

dd orange extract and 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.

These look so good!! I think I am going to make a batch of these and then try a batch using my Princess Emulsion(Lorann Oils).I have been wanting to try it out and think this would be so good.

I tried these twice and both times the butter separated from the mixture. Any suggestions?

Lena - sorry to hear that, white chocolate is very temperamental. You could try omitting the orange zest and melting all the ingredients other than the extract in a double boiler then adding the extract. I say omitting the zest because it would be to hard to strain if you were to do this method, then you may want to increase the amount of orange extract when omitting the zest. Also you may want to try a different kind of white chocolate, even a bar chopped (it would be about 6 oz). I hope that helps!
