1. Finely chop your chocolate, the finer it is chopped the easier it will melt, and place in a heat-safe bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, place the cream, butter, orange juice, and orange zest and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 2 minutes then remove from heat. Let the cream mixture cool and infuse for 30 minutes, then return the mixture to a simmer. Alternatively, you can do this in the microwave. Place the butter, cream, orange juice, and orange zest in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1 minute. Let cool and infuse for 30 minutes. Then heat again for 1 minute.
3. Pour the hot cream mixture over your chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Add in the orange extract, salt, and then whisk until you have a smooth, silky chocolate ganache. If the mixture still has lumps, you can pop it in the microwave for 15-20 second increments, whisking in between until you get a smooth mixture. Or place the heat-safe bowl over a simmering pot of water and whisk until you have no lumps.
4. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
5. Scoop 1 tablespoon of chocolate and roll into a ball. Roll the chocolate in cacao powder until completely coated.
6. Store chocolate orange truffles in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. Serve at room temperature.
7. Enjoy your Orange Cacao Truffles!
