Equipment
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Mixing spoon
- Tray
- Parchment paper
- Shallow bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips use a good quality brand for best texture
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp blue curacao or substitute orange juice concentrate for a non-alcoholic version
- 1/2 cup blue sanding sugar or white for a snowball effect
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth (about 2-3 minutes total).
- Stir in the blue curacao until fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy with a hint of blue tint.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until the mixture is firm and scoopable.
- Line a tray with parchment paper. Pour the sanding sugar into a shallow bowl. Scoop heaping teaspoons of the chilled mixture, roll into balls, and coat each truffle in sanding sugar.
- Arrange the coated truffles on the tray. Chill for another hour to set before serving.
Notes
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving. Try coating in coconut, crushed candy canes, or cocoa powder for variations.
