Orange Cappuccino Chocolate Creams Recipe
Orange Cappuccino Chocolate Creams are tasty, easy chocolate candies. 2 chocolates and citrus mocha flavor in one elegant bite.
Ingredients
- 1½ lb. white chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon finely shredded orange peel
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- ½ cup finely chopped walnuts
- About 72 small paper or foil candy cups (1 ¼ to 1 ½ inch size)
- ¼ cup whipping cream
- 4 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder or instant coffee crystals
- 8 oz. semisweet chocolate
- White chocolate curls (optional)
- Orange peel (optional)
Directions
- For filling, in a large saucepan combine white chocolate, the ½ cup whipping cream, orange peel, orange juice, and orange extract. Stir over low heat until white chocolate is just melted. Remove from heat and stir in walnuts. Cool slightly.
- Place mixture in a self-sealing heavy plastic bag*. Using scissors, make a small opening at one bottom corner of the bag. Squeeze mixture through hole in bag to fill candy cups about two-thirds full. (*Or, use a small spoon instead of bag to fill cups.) Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan heat the ¼ cup whipping cream and the espresso powder or coffee crystals over low heat until dissolved. Add semisweet chocolate, stirring over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until chocolate melts. Spoon ½ teaspoon of the semisweet chocolate mixture onto each white chocolate cream. If desired, top with white chocolate curls and/or orange peel. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve at room temperature.
