Blue Christmas Truffles are prepared with a white chocolate ganache base. The beautiful colour comes from the addition of blue curacao, which creates a warming sensation as these melt in your mouth. White chocolate and a hint of citrus is what you get with these treats!

Ingredients

2 cups white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons blue curacao
1/2 cup sanding sugar

Instructions

Add the chocolate and the cream to a microwave-friendly bowl. Heat in 30 second increments at half speed. Stir well between each increment, until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Finally, add the blue curacao and stir into the chocolate.
Cover and refrigerate for two hours to firm up.
Once the 2 hours have passed, set up a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Pour the sanding sugar into a shallow bowl.
Measure out a slightly heaping teaspoon of the mixture. Roll into balls and then roll in the sanding sugar until coated.
Place on the parchment-lined baking tray. Once all of the balls are rolled, place the baking tray in the fridge for an hour to set up.
Keep refrigerated.

Notes

If the blue colour is not deep enough - this might depend on the brand of curacao - use a drop of blue food colouring.
