Perfect as a refreshing dessert or snack, these truffles bring together the smoothness of cream cheese and butter with the sweet zest of orange, all rolled into bite-sized balls that require no baking and minimal prep time.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/2 tsp orange extract
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafers

Optional Coating

  • Extra orange zest or crushed vanilla wafers for rolling

Instructions

  1. Beat Cream Cheese and Butter: In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Add Flavors: Mix in the orange zest, orange extract, and vanilla extract thoroughly to evenly distribute the citrus and vanilla flavors throughout the creamy base.
  3. Incorporate Sugar and Wafers: Gradually add the powdered sugar and crushed vanilla wafers to the mixture, stirring well after each addition until a firm dough forms that’s easy to shape by hand.
  4. Form Truffles: Scoop the dough into small portions using a spoon or cookie scoop, then roll each portion between your palms into a smooth, round ball.
  5. Optional Rolling: For extra texture and visual appeal, roll each truffle in additional orange zest or crushed vanilla wafers to coat the surface.
  6. Chill: Place the truffles on a lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving. Keep chilled until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • Chilling the truffles helps them hold their shape and enhances the flavor blend.
  • Substitute crushed vanilla wafers with graham crackers or digestive biscuits if preferred.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a festive look, consider dipping the truffles in white chocolate before rolling in zest or wafers.
