2/3 cup heavy cream
1 tsp orange extract, or 3-5 drops orange essential oil*
granulated sugar or cocoa, for coating finished truffles
In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate at 50% power, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Whisk in heavy cream and continue whisking until the mixture is shiny and smooth. Stir in orange extract or essential oil. (Taste and adjust orange flavor as desired.)
Refrigerate until firm, but pliable. Shape into balls and roll in sugar or cocoa. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
*other flavorings could be used by choosing a different extract - raspberry, cinnamon, coconut, peppermint, etc.
