Delight in the vibrant and zesty flavors of Orange Margarita Truffles, a luscious treat combining creamy white chocolate with fresh citrus and a splash of tequila. Perfectly coated in granulated sugar, these no-bake truffles offer a refreshing twist on classic chocolate confections, ideal for parties or an elegant dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Mixture

  • 1/3 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Tequila
  • 1/4 cup Orange juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Lime juice
  • 2 cups White chocolate chips
  • Zest of one orange

Coating

  • Granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Warm Cream and Orange Zest: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange zest and heavy cream. Warm the mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent boiling and to infuse the cream with citrus flavor.
  2. Melt White Chocolate: Remove the pan from heat, then add the white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth.
  3. Add Juices and Tequila: Pour in the orange juice, lime juice, and tequila, stirring well to create a homogeneous mixture that balances the creamy sweetness with tangy and boozy notes.
  4. Chill the Mixture: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container with a lid and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, allowing it to firm up enough for shaping.
  5. Form Truffles: Once set but still soft, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the mixture. Roll each portion into a ball by hand.
  6. Coat and Chill Again: Roll each truffle ball in granulated sugar to coat evenly. Place them on a lined baking sheet and chill for an additional hour to set properly before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream and orange zest mixture does not boil to preserve delicate flavors.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate for best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of tequila to taste, but be cautious as too much can affect the texture.
  • Store the truffles in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
  • For a festive touch, consider adding a pinch of chili powder to the sugar coating.
