Orange-Scented White-Chocolate Truffle Filling

1 cup heavy cream
Zest of 2 medium oranges, cut into strips
1/2 pound white chocolate, finely chopped

1. Flavor the cream: Place cream and orange zest in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Let steep for 30 minutes.

2. Make the filling: Place chocolate in a large bowl with a sieve positioned over top of the bowl. Reheat the steeped cream until just boiling and immediately pour it through the sieve onto the chocolate. Let sit for 30 seconds and stir gently until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Cool to room temperature. Store covered and refrigerated for up to 3 weeks. Bring to room temperature to use.
