Orange Chocolate Christmas Truffles

Orange Chocolate Christmas Truffles


  • Author: Sarah White

Description

These Orange Chocolate Christmas Truffles are easy, no-bake holiday treats full of citrus and chocolate. Perfect for parties or gifting.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 grams (18 oz) chocolate biscuits (see Note 1)
  • 300 grams sweetened condensed milk (see Note 2)
  • 1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 1/4 cup chocolate sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup orange-colored sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Crush the biscuits: Place chocolate biscuits in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, seal in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  2. Mix the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed biscuits, sweetened condensed milk, orange juice, and orange zest. Stir until everything is evenly mixed and a sticky dough forms.
  3. Chill for easier handling: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes. This firms up the mixture and makes it easier to roll.
  4. Form the truffles: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls using your hands.
  5. Decorate: Pour chocolate sprinkles and orange sprinkles into separate bowls. Roll half the truffles in chocolate sprinkles and the other half in orange sprinkles, coating completely.
  6. Set and store: Place truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Transfer to an airtight container and store chilled.

Notes

Note 1: Any crisp, dry chocolate biscuit works. Arnott’s Chocolate Ripple or similar varieties are ideal. Avoid cream-filled cookies.

Note 2: Use full-fat sweetened condensed milk for best texture and binding. Low-fat versions may be too thin.

Fresh orange juice gives the best flavor, but bottled can be used in a pinch.

For a smoother coating, chill the rolled truffles briefly before rolling in sprinkles.

To make ahead, freeze truffles for up to 1 month in a sealed container.
