Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons blue curacao
Coating
- 1/2 cup sanding sugar
Instructions
- Combine Chocolate and Cream: Place the white chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl to prepare the ganache base.
- Heat Mixture: Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals at half power, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Add Blue Curacao: Stir in the blue curacao completely, ensuring the mixture is evenly colored and flavored.
- Chill Mixture: Refrigerate the chocolate mixture for 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop easily.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place the truffles after shaping.
- Prepare Sanding Sugar: Pour the sanding sugar into a wide, shallow bowl for rolling the truffles.
- Form Balls: Using a teaspoon, scoop and roll portions of the chilled chocolate mixture into small, uniform balls.
- Coat Truffles: Roll each ball carefully in the sanding sugar until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Sheet: Place the coated truffles on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Set the Truffles: Refrigerate the truffles for an additional hour to allow them to fully set.
- Storage: Keep the truffles refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain freshness and shape.
Notes
- Use half power in the microwave to avoid scorching the chocolate.
- Ensure the blue curacao is fully incorporated for even color and flavor distribution.
- Wear disposable gloves when forming the truffle balls to prevent melting from hands.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute blue curacao with blue food coloring and a splash of orange extract.
