Put the cream and orange zest in a small saucepan and heat gently until it starts to simmer. Remove from the heat, cover, and leave to infuse for 30 minutes.
Place the chocolate chips in a large bowl, and sit it over a saucepan of simmering water to melt, stirring frequently.
Once the chocolate is melted, warm the cream again briefly, then stir into the chocolate until the two are combined.
Cover the bowl and leave it to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, then spoon balls of the chocolate mixture onto it, making each ball about the size of a walnut.
Put the sheet of truffles into the freezer for 2 hours. Remove from the freezer, then dust your hands with the confectioners’ sugar and roll each truffle gently into a smooth ball. Gently press them back onto the tray to give them a flat base, then return to the freezer for another 2 hours to firm up. Cook’s Notes Don’t use the best-quality chocolate that is high in cocoa solids for this recipe – the truffles will set better if you make them with ordinary chocolate chips. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
