Ingredients
  

1 cup orange-flavored chocolate chips

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)

Zest of 1 orange

1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafer cookies

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Orange-colored sprinkles (for coating)

Instructions
 

Make the Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the orange-flavored chocolate chips, stirring until completely melted and smooth.

    Add Flavors: Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

      Chill: Once cooled, refrigerate the ganache for about 1-2 hours, or until it becomes firm enough to shape into truffles.

        Shape the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, portion out small amounts of the chilled ganache, rolling them into balls about 1 inch in diameter.

          Coat with Cookies: In a shallow bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers and powdered sugar. Roll each truffle in the mixture until fully coated. This adds a nice texture and flavor.

            Final Touch: Roll the coated truffles in orange-colored sprinkles to give them a festive appearance.

              Refrigerate: Place the finished truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to help them set.

                Serve: Enjoy the Orange Creamsicle Truffles chilled. They make the perfect refreshing dessert!
