These Orange Creamsicle Truffles blend creamy white chocolate, bright citrus extract, and real orange zest for a nostalgic, sunny flavor wrapped in a silky chocolate shell. The combination of dry pudding mix and powdered sugar creates a smooth, no-bake truffle center that firms beautifully once chilled.

Optional decorative coatings add texture, shimmer, or tropical flair, making these truffles as stunning as they are delicious.
