WHITE CHOCOLATE ORANGE TRUFFLES
Vit chokladtryffel med apelsin

White chocolate orange truffles for Easter (or any other occasion) – luscious, luxurious, loveable! :-D

Makes approx 15 truffles

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 ¾ oz butter or margarine
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
5 oz white chocolate
1/3 cup powdered sugar
grated zest from 1 orange

Decoration:

5 oz white chocolate
some pink and yellow stuff you can
sprinkle on cakes and cookies

Bring cream, butter or margarine and mascarpone to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in chocolate in pieces and powdered sugar and flavour with orange zest. Stir until the chocolate has melted, then pour the batter in a bowl and allow to cool – preferably in the fridge for a few hours.

Spoon up the batter with a teaspoon and shape into round balls. Put them on baking paper and leave to set in room temperature for about 1 hour.

Melt the chocolate for the decoration over a waterbath or in the microwave. Dip the balls in, they should be completely covered with chocolate. It’s easy if you insert a toothpick in the truffle. Decorate immediately with the pink and yellow stuff (if you wish) and allow to set. Store in a cool place.

Enjoy!
