Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons blue curacao
  • 1/2 cup sanding sugar

Instructions

  1. 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 after each interval, until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Blue Curacao: Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, stir in 2 tablespoons of blue curacao until fully incorporated.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours to firm up the mixture for rolling.
  4. Prep for Rolling: After chilling, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour 1/2 cup of sanding sugar into a shallow bowl.
  5. Form the Truffles: Scoop out heaping teaspoons of the chilled mixture, roll into balls, and coat each one in the sanding sugar.
  6. Set the Truffles: Place the sugar-coated truffles on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow them to set.
  7. Store: Keep the Blue Christmas Truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • Use good quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Blue curacao adds a lovely citrus flavor and blue color but can be omitted for a non-alcoholic version; substitute with blue food coloring and orange extract.
  • Handle the truffles gently when rolling to keep them smooth and uniform.
  • Store truffles refrigerated to maintain firmness and freshness.
  • Allow truffles to sit at room temperature briefly before serving for optimal flavor.
