Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups high-quality white chocolate (divided, 2 cups for filling, ½ cup for coating)
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (preferably from a fresh orange)

- Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, orange zest, orange extract, and softened butter until the mixture is well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate the mixture for about 1 hour, or until firm enough to scoop.

- Chill the truffle balls for another 15–20 minutes to firm up.
