Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream and white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until melted and smooth (3-5 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Stir in orange zest, vanilla extract, and orange juice. Let cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
- Refrigerate the ganache for 1-2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
