Delight in these festive Blue Christmas Truffles featuring smooth white chocolate, a splash of vibrant blue curacao, and a sparkling coating of sanding sugar. Perfect for holiday parties or as a beautiful homemade gift, these truffles combine creamy texture with a hint of citrus flavor for a truly special treat.

Ingredients

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 the chocolate is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Blue Curacao: Stir in 2 tablespoons of blue curacao into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated, giving it a vibrant blue color.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours to firm up the mixture, making it easier to roll 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 after shaping.
  5. Form the Truffles: Using heaping teaspoons, scoop out the chilled mixture and roll each portion into a ball with your hands. Then, roll each ball in the sanding sugar coating until fully covered.
  6. Set the Truffles: Place the sugar-coated truffles on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow them to set firmly.
  7. Store: Keep the truffles refrigerated until serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use a silicone spatula for easier melting and stirring of the chocolate.
  • Chilling the mixture thoroughly is key for easier rolling and shaping of the truffles.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute blue curacao with blue food coloring and a splash of orange juice or vanilla extract.
  • Sanding sugar adds a nice crunch and sparkle, but you can also use colored sugar or finely shredded coconut for variation.
  • Handle the truffles gently while rolling to avoid melting the chocolate from the warmth of your hands.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing fridge odors.
