Chocolate-Orange Truffles image

Infuse heavy cream with orange zest, then mix it with chocolate for truffles that deliver a burst of citrus flavor.

Time 1h45m

Yield about 24 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (not chips)
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons honey
Finely grated zest of 2 oranges
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Bring about 1 inch of water to a very slow simmer in a medium saucepan. Put the chocolate in a medium heat-safe bowl that can sit on top of the pan without touching the water. Put the bowl over the water and let the chocolate melt, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, bring the heavy cream, honey and half of the orange zest to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the honey. Strain the cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl and then gradually whisk into the chocolate until smooth and shiny. Whisk in the butter until melted. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a cool spot until slightly firm, about 1 hour.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Rub together the sugar and remaining orange zest in a small bowl until combined. Transfer the truffle mixture to a piping bag or resealable bag fitted with a plain 1/4-inch tip. Holding the bag about 1/4-inch over the baking sheet, pipe 3/4-inch truffles. Sprinkle with the orange sugar. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but these truffles didn't taste very good.

These truffles didn't turn out well for me. I think I overmixed the chocolate.

These truffles are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would use less sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of the orange flavor, so I made these truffles with lemon zest instead. They turned out great!

I'm allergic to nuts, so I made these truffles with almond flour instead of chopped nuts. They turned out great!

These truffles are a great way to use up leftover orange zest. I always have some leftover after I make orange juice or orange marmalade.

I used dark chocolate for these truffles and they turned out perfectly. I think milk chocolate would also be good.

The orange zest really makes these truffles special. It gives them a bright, citrusy flavor that pairs perfectly with the chocolate.
