Time 5h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream
4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons orange liqueur
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter and cream. Bring to a boil, and remove from heat. Stir in 4 ounces chopped chocolate, orange liqueur, and orange zest; continue stirring until smooth. Pour truffle mixture into a shallow bowl or a 9X5 in loaf pan. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Shape chilled truffle mixture by rounded teaspoons into small balls (a melon baller also works well for this part). Place on prepared baking sheet. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • In the top of a double boiler over lightly simmering water, melt remaining 4 ounces chocolate with the oil, stirring until smooth. Cool to lukewarm.
  • Drop truffles, one at a time, into melted chocolate mixture. Using 2 forks, lift truffles out of the chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the pan before transferring back onto baking sheet. Chill until set.

Yield 70

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package (11-1/2 ounces) milk chocolate chips
1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
zest of one orange
2-1/2 teaspoons orange extract
Outer Coating:
1 lb [chocolate candy coating

Steps:

  • Pour milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate in a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix together cream and orange zest and bring to a boil; immediately pour over chocolate chips in the bowl.
  • Let stand for 1 minute then mix until the chocolate is completely smooth. Add in orange extract.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 45 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken.
  • With a large wooden spoon, stir mixture for 10-15 seconds or just until it lightens in color (do not overbeat or it will not be the right texture).
  • Spoon rounded teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets (they don't have to look pretty). Place baking sheet in the fridge and let chill for at least 10 minutes.
  • Using your hands, gently roll each spoonful into a ball.
  • Follow the directions on the candy coating packaging and melt chocolate (I melted mine in the microwave according to the package directions).
  • Dip each chocolate orange ball in the candy coating and push around until completely covered; allow excess to drip off (I use two forks when I dip these truffles and that way the excess chocolate can drip through before I remove it from the bowl).
  • Place each truffle on wax paper; let stand until set. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge.

CHOCOLATE-ORANGE TRUFFLES



Chocolate-Orange Truffles image

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

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
5 strips 1-inch-wide orange peel, pith removed
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup sifted cocoa powder

  • Place the confectioners' sugar, the cocoa powder, and the chopped nuts in 3 separate bowls. Roll the truffles in desired coatings.

DARK CHOCOLATE ORANGE TRUFFLES



Dark Chocolate Orange Truffles image

The original recipe came from an old Canadian Living Christmas Book. I've made a few variations of these for Christmas gatherings and they're very popular. I've always used Bernard Callebaut's dark baking chocolate but I'm not sure if it's available anymore. Semi-sweet bakers chocolate can be substituted in place of the dark. Preparation time is approximate as it has been awhile since I made these, and does not include chill time.

MASHED POTATO TRUFFLES: DARK CHOCOLATE AND ORANGE #SP5



Mashed Potato Truffles: Dark Chocolate and Orange #SP5 image

Official Contest Entry: Simply Potatoes 5Fix #SP5 Potatoes aren't just for savory dishes--they belong in dessert, too! This is a simple base recipe for indulgent candy truffles. I use chocolate and orange as my flavors here, but you can change flavors easily while keeping the basic amounts the same. For each 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes, you'll want: 1 cup of some kind of chocolate*, up to 2 Tb of fruit juice (zest too!) OR 1 tsp flavored extract like almond, then another cup of something to roll your truffles in (melted chocolate/white chocolate, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, crushed nuts). Want to make things look fancy? Add a few sprinkles, crushed potato chips, or a contrasting chocolate drizzle. *Note that "white" chocolate doesn't set like chocolate does. If you want to use it for your filling, allow 3 hours to chill in a freezer, then thaw and form balls, OR follow the recommended amounts but also add 2 cups shredded coconut to help thicken and chill normally.

Categories     Candy

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 truffles, 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes
1 navel orange, zest and juice
2 cups dark chocolate chips, divided

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine well the mashed potatoes, the zest of one navel orange, and the juice of half of the orange.
  • Melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips either in a double boiler, or by heating in the microwave for approximately 1.5 minutes, stirring every 25-30 seconds.
  • Once the chocolate is thoroughly melted, add it to the potato mixture, stir well to combine, then allow the mix to chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, or until a scooped portion of the mix can be easily shaped (rolled in your hands).
  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper. You're ready to form the truffles: scoop an approximately tablespoon-sized amount of the filling, and form into a ball by rolling with your hands. Set these on the wax paper, then allow the balls to chill in the refrigerator or freezer for another 30 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining chocolate chips and dip the chilled filling balls to coat completely. The chocolate sets quickly, so work fast, and enjoy! These keep very well in the refrigerator and freezer and make great gifts.
