Main Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons blue curacao
- 1/2 cup sanding sugar
Instructions
- Heat Chocolate Mixture: Add the white chocolate chips and heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments at half power, stirring thoroughly between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Blue Curacao: Stir the blue curacao into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated, ensuring an even blue hue and flavor.
- Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours to allow the mixture to firm up for easier shaping.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place the truffles after rolling.
- Coat Preparation: Pour the sanding sugar into a shallow bowl, ready for coating the truffles.
- Shape Truffles: Using a slightly heaping teaspoon, scoop portions of the firmed chocolate mixture. Roll each portion into a ball, then roll it in the sanding sugar until completely coated.
- Set Truffles: Place the coated truffle balls onto the parchment-lined tray. Once all are shaped, refrigerate the tray for one hour to let the truffles fully set.
- Storage: Keep the truffles refrigerated until serving to maintain their texture and freshness.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and smoother texture.
- Blue curacao adds a subtle orange flavor and vibrant color; substitute with another orange liqueur if preferred.
- Wear gloves when rolling the truffles if you want to avoid melting from your hands.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace blue curacao with blue raspberry syrup or omit entirely.
