Blue Christmas Truffles
These elegant truffles offer a luscious white chocolate ganache infused with the vibrant flavor and hue of blue curacao. Delicate citrus notes combined with the creamy sweetness create a truly festive confection that melts blissfully on the tongue.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons blue curacao
- 1/2 cup sanding sugar
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Place the white chocolate chips and heavy cream into a bowl safe for microwave use. Heat in intervals of 30 seconds at medium power, stirring thoroughly after each burst, until the mixture becomes silky and homogenous.
- Incorporate the blue curacao into the smooth ganache, stirring until fully blended.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for two hours to allow it to firm.
- After chilling, prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Transfer the sanding sugar to a shallow dish.
- Using a teaspoon, scoop heaping portions of the ganache and shape them into balls by rolling between your palms.
- Coat each truffle evenly by rolling it in the sanding sugar, then place them on the prepared tray.
- Once all truffles are formed, refrigerate the tray for an additional hour to ensure proper setting.
- Store truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
For a more vivid blue hue, particularly if the brand of curacao used is pale, a drop of blue food coloring may be added.
