3/4 cup whipping cream |
1 teaspoon grated orange rind |
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening |
2 1/2 teaspoons orange extract |
1 1/2 cups pecans, toasted, finely chopped |
1 cup milk chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Place chocolate chips in bowl.set aside.
2. Bring cream and orange peel to gentle boil.immediately pour over chips.let stand for 1 minute.
3. Whisk until smooth, add extract.
4. Cover and chill 35 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken.
5. Beat for 10-15 seconds or just until mixture lightens in color.
6. DO NOT OVERBEAT!
7. Gently shape into balls, roll half of the balls in pecans.
8. In a microwave or double boiler.
