Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams White chocolate chips
- 120 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Orange extract
- 20 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 drops Orange gel food coloring (optional)
- 30 grams Nonpareils or decorative sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange zest, orange extract, and softened butter. Beat with a handheld or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
If desired, add 2 drops of orange gel food coloring to the mixture and beat until the color is evenly incorporated.
Chill the cream cheese mixture in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until firm enough to handle.
Once chilled, scoop approximately 1.5 teaspoons of the mixture and roll it into a small ball using your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, then return the tray to the refrigerator to set for 10 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring after each session, until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully coat each chilled ball in the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined tray.
If desired, immediately sprinkle nonpareils or decorative sprinkles onto the bon bons before the chocolate sets.
Allow the chocolate coating to fully set and harden (about 10 minutes in the refrigerator or 30 minutes at room temperature).
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your Orange Bon Bons!
