Ingredients

• 300 grams White chocolate chips
• 120 grams Cream cheese (softened)
• 100 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Orange extract
• 20 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 drops Orange gel food coloring (optional)
• 30 grams Nonpareils or decorative sprinkles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange zest, orange extract, and softened butter. Beat with a handheld or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

If desired, add 2 drops of orange gel food coloring to the mixture and beat until the color is evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Chill the cream cheese mixture in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until firm enough to handle.

Step 4

Once chilled, scoop approximately 1.5 teaspoons of the mixture and roll it into a small ball using your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, then return the tray to the refrigerator to set for 10 minutes.

Step 5

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring after each session, until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.

Step 6

Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully coat each chilled ball in the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined tray.

Step 7

If desired, immediately sprinkle nonpareils or decorative sprinkles onto the bon bons before the chocolate sets.

Step 8

Allow the chocolate coating to fully set and harden (about 10 minutes in the refrigerator or 30 minutes at room temperature).

Step 9

Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your Orange Bon Bons!
