Description

Delight in these festive Blue Christmas Truffles, combining the creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the vibrant flavor of Blue Curacao, coated in sparkling sanding sugar for a perfect holiday treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Mixture

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Blue Curacao

Coating

  • 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, ensuring an even color and flavor throughout.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours to firm up the mixture, which will make it easier to form into truffles.
  4. Prep for Rolling: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour 1/2 cup of sanding sugar into a shallow bowl to coat the truffles.
  5. Form the Truffles: Using a spoon or small scoop, take heaping teaspoons of the chilled mixture and roll them between your palms into smooth balls. Then, roll each ball in the sanding sugar until fully coated.
  6. Set the Truffles: Place the sugar-coated truffles on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate again for 1 hour to allow them to properly set and firm up.
  7. Store: Keep the Blue Christmas Truffles refrigerated until ready to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • For a more intense blue color, you can use a few drops of blue food coloring in addition to the Blue Curacao.
  • If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute Blue Curacao with blue raspberry syrup or omit entirely and add a few drops of vanilla extract.
  • Make sure not to overheat the white chocolate, as it can easily burn—heat gently and stir frequently.
  • These truffles are best served chilled and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
