No Bake Orange Creamsicle Truffles
These No Bake Orange Creamsicle Truffles are little bites of sunshine—soft, creamy centers bursting with bright orange flavor, coated in smooth white chocolate. Inspired by the classic creamsicle popsicle, they’re tangy, sweet, and made with simple ingredients—no oven required. Perfect for spring, summer, baby showers, or whenever you want a citrusy treat that feels fancy but is easy to make.
The first time I made Orange Creamsicle Truffles, I was looking for a fun, no-bake dessert for a baby shower. I wanted something that was light, citrusy, and easy to pop in your mouth—no forks, no fuss. My husband tried one straight from the fridge and said, “It’s like those orange push-pops from when we were kids, but way better.” My daughter called them “orange snowballs.” They were such a hit, we now make them anytime we want a sweet bite that feels like summer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh orange juice instead of extract? You can, but the extract gives a stronger flavor. Add juice slowly to avoid thinning the dough too much.
Can I skip the chocolate coating? Absolutely—they’re still delicious without it, or you can roll them in powdered sugar instead.
Do they need to be refrigerated? Yes—because of the cream cheese, they should stay chilled until serving.
