A stack of ten bright blue round sweets covered with coarse white sugar crystals, piled in a pyramid shape on a white, scalloped-edge cake stand; the sugar on the sweets sparkles under soft light, and the stand sits on a dark blue surface with scattered sugar crystals and silver glitter balls nearby, with some pine branches dusted with sugar in the background, all against a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons Blue Curacao
1/2 cup sanding sugar

Instructions

Step 1: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals on medium power, stirring after each, until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Stir in the Blue Curacao until fully incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
Step 3: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours to allow the mixture to firm up for rolling.
Step 4: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the sanding sugar into a shallow bowl for coating.
Step 5: Scoop heaping teaspoons of the chilled mixture, roll into balls, and coat each one in the sanding sugar.
Step 6: Place the coated truffles on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
Step 7: Keep the truffles refrigerated until ready to serve.

Tips & Variations

Use good-quality white chocolate for a smoother, richer flavor.
Substitute Blue Curacao with blue food coloring and a splash of orange extract if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
For extra texture, sprinkle crushed candy canes or finely chopped nuts over the sanding sugar coating.

Storage

Store the Blue Christmas Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. When ready to serve, allow them to sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to soften slightly. Avoid freezing to maintain the best texture.

How to Serve

A white plate holds a pile of blue round balls, each covered in small silver glitter giving a sparkling effect. Two balls in front have bites taken out, showing a smooth, creamy blue inside that matches the outer color. The balls are arranged in a loose stack, with the glitter catching the light. The plate sits on a white marbled surface with scattered blue and silver glitter, next to a white snowflake decoration and silver ornaments. Soft yellow fairy lights and green pine needles can be seen blurred in the background, creating a festive feel. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a double boiler instead of the microwave to melt the chocolate?

Yes, gently melting the chocolate and cream over a double boiler works well and helps prevent overheating.

Are these truffles suitable for kids?

Since Blue Curacao contains alcohol, these truffles are best enjoyed by adults. You can make a kid-friendly version by omitting the liqueur and adding blue food coloring and a bit of orange extract instead.

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 2 cups of white chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Heat the mixture in the microwave at 30-second intervals on medium power, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add Blue Curacao: Stir 2 tablespoons of blue curacao into the melted chocolate mixture until it is fully incorporated and evenly colored.
Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours, allowing the mixture to firm up enough for easy rolling.
Prep for Rolling: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place the truffles once formed. Pour 1/2 cup of sanding sugar into a shallow bowl for coating.
Form the Truffles: Using heaping teaspoons, scoop out portions of the chilled mixture. Roll each scoop swiftly between your palms to form smooth balls, then roll them in the sanding sugar until fully coated.
Set the Truffles: Arrange the sugar-coated truffles on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 1 hour to help the coating set and the truffles firm up further.
Store: Keep the Blue Christmas Truffles refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain their texture and freshness.

Notes

Ensure the white chocolate and cream mixture is not overheated to prevent it from seizing.
You can substitute blue curacao with blue food coloring and a splash of orange extract if alcohol is to be avoided.
For best results, use quality white chocolate for a smoother texture and richer flavor.
Sanding sugar adds a festive sparkle and slight crunch; regular granulated sugar can be used but results will differ.
These truffles are best stored refrigerated and consumed within one week.
