Oil Soluble Blood Orange Flavoring

These Blood Orange Chocolate Truffles combine rich, velvety chocolate with the bright, citrusy notes of Blood Orange Flavoring for a gourmet dessert that tastes bakery-quality. Warm cream is infused with flavoring and poured over dark chocolate to create a smooth ganache. Once chilled, the ganache is rolled into bite-sized truffles and coated in cocoa powder or melted chocolate. This easy, no-bake recipe is perfect for gifting, holidays, or elevating any dessert table.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz high-quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1–1.5 tsp Blood Orange Flavoring / Blood Orange Extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

    2. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

    3. Shape and Coat the Truffles

    1. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions of the firm ganache and roll into balls between your palms.

    2. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or dip in melted chocolate for a rich shell.

    3. Place finished truffles on a parchment-lined tray.

    4. Serve or Store
