Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 1 cup Dried apricots
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1.5 cups White chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (optional, for coating)
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the dried cranberries and dried apricots. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
Transfer the chopped fruit mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the orange zest and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined, forming a sticky dough.
Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill for 15–20 minutes to make it easier to work with.
While the mixture chills, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.
Remove the fruit mixture from the refrigerator. Scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls with your hands.
Dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to ensure it's fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated truffle onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, roll the freshly coated truffles in shredded coconut for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
Repeat with the remaining truffles and allow them to set at room temperature until firm, or pop them in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
Once the truffles are firm, place them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
