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.
