Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Blue Curacao liqueur
Coating
- 1/2 cup sanding sugar
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate and Cream: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat the mixture in the microwave at 30-second intervals on medium power, stirring well after each interval until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add Blue Curacao: Stir the Blue Curacao into the melted chocolate mixture until it is fully incorporated, creating a vibrant, smooth blend.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for about 2 hours to firm it up, making it easier to roll into truffles.
- Prep for Rolling: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the sanding sugar into a shallow bowl to use for coating the truffles.
- Form the Truffles: Using a teaspoon, scoop out heaping portions of the chilled mixture. Roll each portion quickly between your palms to form smooth balls, then roll each ball in the sanding sugar until fully coated.
- Set the Truffles: Place the coated truffles on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow them to fully set and firm up.
- Store: Keep the finished Blue Christmas Truffles in the refrigerator until serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For easier rolling, keep your hands cool or chill them briefly before shaping the truffles.
- Substitute Blue Curacao with other flavored liqueurs like Grand Marnier or a non-alcoholic blue syrup for a kid-friendly version.
- Use quality white chocolate for a smoother, richer flavor.
- Store truffles in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out or absorbing fridge odors.
