Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons blue curacao
Coating
- 1/2 cup sanding sugar
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate and Cream: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals on medium power, stirring well after each interval until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Add Blue Curacao: Stir in the blue curacao thoroughly into the melted chocolate mixture to evenly distribute the flavor and color.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours, letting the mixture firm up to a consistency that’s easy to roll into balls.
- Prep for Rolling: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour sanding sugar into a shallow bowl to coat the truffles after rolling.
- Form the Truffles: Using a spoon, scoop heaping teaspoons of the chilled mixture and roll them gently between your hands to form smooth balls. Immediately roll each ball in the sanding sugar until fully coated.
- Set the Truffles: Place the coated truffles on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for another hour to let them set firmly.
- Store: Keep the Blue Christmas Truffles refrigerated until serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Be careful when melting the white chocolate to avoid overheating and burning; stirring frequently helps.
- Use medium power on the microwave to ensure gentle melting.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute blue curacao with blue food coloring and a splash of orange extract.
- Make sure your hands are slightly cool or use gloves to prevent the mixture from melting while rolling.
- Store truffles in a cool place or refrigerator to maintain their shape and texture.
