How to Make No Bake Orange Creamsicle Truffles

Step 1: Make the Creamsicle Base

• In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
• Add powdered sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
• Stir in melted white chocolate and orange food coloring if using.

Step 2: Add the Crunch

• Fold in the crushed vanilla wafers until a soft, scoopable dough forms.
• If the mixture feels too soft, chill it for 15–20 minutes.

Step 3: Roll and Decorate

• Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls.
• Place on a parchment-lined tray.
• Sprinkle with orange zest, sprinkles, or roll lightly in powdered sugar for a cute finish.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

• Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
• Serve chilled and enjoy every creamy, citrusy bite.

Expert Tips for Success

• Room temperature cream cheese helps ensure a smooth, lump-free base.
• Zest before juicing: You’ll get more zest and avoid slippery oranges!
• Chill before rolling if your mixture is too sticky—cold dough is easier to shape.
• Roll with care: Use a cookie scoop for even portions and smooth rolling.
• Customize toppings with crushed wafers, coconut, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

FAQs

Can I make No Bake Orange Creamsicle Truffles ahead of time?

Yes! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Do I need to dip them in chocolate?

Nope! This version skips the coating—just roll and chill for a soft, creamy bite.

Can I use orange extract instead of fresh orange juice?

Absolutely! Use 1/2 tsp of orange extract for a more intense flavor.

Can I make them vegan?

You can try dairy-free cream cheese and white chocolate alternatives, but the texture may change slightly.

Not at all! The food coloring just adds a creamsicle-style orange tint, but they’re just as tasty without it.

What can I roll them in besides sprinkles?

Try powdered sugar, crushed wafers, shredded coconut, or finely chopped nuts for texture.
