Ingredients
  • 6 ounce White chocolate; coarse chop
  • 1/2 cup Whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 cup Semisweet choco chips
  • 1 tablespoon Butter or margarine
  • 2 tablespoon Ortange-flavored liquer
  • 3/4 cup Confectioner's sugar; sift
Directions
  1. 1
    Melt the white chocolate with 1/4 cup of the whipping cream and the vanilla in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  2. 2
    Pour the melted white chocolate mixture into a 9-inch square pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate until set but not hard, about 15 minutes.
  3. 3
    Meanwhile, melt the semisweet chocolate chips with the butter and remaining 1/4 cup whipping cream in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring until smooth. Stir in the orange liqueur.
  4. 4
    Pour the semisweet chocolate mixture over the set white chocolate layer in the pan.
  5. 5
    Using a knife, gently swirl the two layers together to create a marbled effect, being careful not to fully blend them.
  6. 6
    Refrigerate the pan until the chocolate mixture is fudgy but still soft enough to scoop, about 1 hour.
  7. 7
    Scoop the chocolate mixture into small balls using a melon baller or spoon, rolling them gently between your palms if needed to smooth the edges.
  8. 8
    Roll the truffles in sifted confectioner's sugar until fully coated.
  9. 9
    Place finished truffles on a wax paper-lined tray and refrigerate until firm before serving or storing.

Note

Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before eating for best texture.

If you prefer a stronger orange flavor, increase the orange liqueur to 3 tablespoons, but reduce the whipping cream slightly to maintain consistency.

For a caffeine boost, replace 1 tablespoon of the orange liqueur with strong brewed espresso or coffee liqueur.

Ensure your chocolate is completely melted and smooth before pouring to avoid lumps in the final truffles.
