Ingredients

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
  • 1-2 oranges, juice and zest (make them as ‘orange-y’ as you like)
  • 2 scoops protein or collagen powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Place the first measure of chocolate chips in a small bowl.
    Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
    Mix in orange juice, orange zest and vanilla extract until fully combined. Taste test and add more orange, vanilla or a touch of sweetener if you think it needs it.
    Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until firm.
    Once firm, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands. I get 12 balls out of this mixture. Place back in refrigeration while you melt the chocolate coating.

Chocolate Coating

  • Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 30 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
    Remove the balls from the fridge and using one or two forks to hold each one dip into the melted chocolate, coating completely then place on a parchment-lined tray.
    Or you can hold each ball with a fork over the melted chocolate and spoon it over letting any excess drip back into the bowl.
    Refrigerate the snack balls for 30 minutes to set the coating.
    Will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freezer for up to 3 months.
