These truffles are so impressive that they won first place at Wisconsin State Fair. These two-tone creamy candies combine an orange-flavored white chocolate and milk chocolate.—Gerry Cofta, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Ingredients:
8 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped |
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream, divided |
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel |
1/4 teaspoon orange extract |
8 ounces milk chocolate, chopped |
coating: |
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped |
additional milk and white baking chocolate, melted |
Directions:
1. Place white chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring 1/3 cup cream just to a boil. Pour over white chocolate; whisk until smooth. Stir in orange peel and extract. 2. Place milk chocolate in another small bowl. In same saucepan, bring remaining cream just to a boil. Pour over milk chocolate; whisk until smooth. Cool both mixtures to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate until firm. 3. To form centers, take 1-1/2 teaspoons of each chocolate mixture and shape into a two-tone ball, about 1 in. round. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets; cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. 4. In a double boiler or metal bowl over simmering water, whisk semisweet chocolate until smooth. Dip truffles in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Return to baking sheets; drizzle with additional chocolate as desired. Refrigerate until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen. |
