Servings: 24 Truffles
Ingredients
- White Chocolate Chips: 2 cups
- Heavy Cream: 2 tablespoons
- Blue Curacao: 2 tablespoons
- Sanding Sugar: 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Melting Chocolate and Cream: In a bowl suitable for microwave use, combine 2 cups of white chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 30-second intervals at half power. After each interval, stir thoroughly until the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Incorporating Blue Curacao: Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, add 2 tablespoons of blue curacao. Stir the mixture until the blue curacao is fully integrated into the chocolate.
- Chilling the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for approximately two hours. This step is crucial to ensure the mixture attains a firm consistency suitable for forming truffles.
- Preparation for Rolling: After the refrigeration period, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. In a separate shallow bowl, pour 1/2 cup of sanding sugar.
- Forming Truffles: Measure out heaping teaspoons of the chilled chocolate mixture. Roll the measured chocolate into balls, and then roll these balls in the sanding sugar until they are fully coated.
- Setting the Truffles: Place the sugar-coated truffles on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the truffles are formed and placed on the sheet, refrigerate the tray for an additional hour to allow the truffles to set properly.
- Storage: Keep the Blue Christmas Truffles refrigerated until ready to serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
