1 teaspoon orange extract
Zest of 1 orange
1 ½ cups vanilla wafer crumbs (about 40 wafers)
Orange food coloring (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, followed by the melted white chocolate.
Stir in the orange extract, orange zest, and a few drops of orange food coloring (if using) to enhance the creamsicle hue.

Add Crumbs:
Fold in the vanilla wafer crumbs until well combined. The mixture should be thick and easy to shape.

Chill the Dough:
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll into balls.

Form the Truffles:
Scoop small portions of the dough and roll into 1-inch balls.

Coat the Truffles:
Roll each truffle in powdered sugar or orange sprinkles for a decorative touch.

Chill Before Serving:
Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
