Easy Blue Truffles are delightful white chocolate-based confections infused with blue curaçao liqueur for a subtle citrus flavor and stunning pale blue hue. Coated with sparkling blue sanding sugar, these no-bake truffles offer a perfect balance of creamy texture and crunchy exterior, making them an elegant treat for special occasions or everyday indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Truffle Base:

  • 2 cups high-quality white chocolate chips (Ghirardelli or Guittard recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream (35% fat content)
  • 2 tablespoons blue curaçao liqueur
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Coating:

  • ½ cup blue sanding sugar
  • Alternative coatings: powdered sugar, shredded coconut, or cocoa powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Create the Ganache Base: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This method prevents the chocolate from overheating and seizing.
  2. Add the Magic Color: Stir in the blue curaçao liqueur and vanilla extract until evenly blended. The mixture will take on a beautiful pale blue color. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours until firm enough to shape.
  3. Prepare for Rolling: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the blue sanding sugar into a shallow bowl. Remove the chilled ganache from the refrigerator; it should be firm enough to hold its shape when scooped.
  4. Shape the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, portion out slightly heaping teaspoon-sized amounts of the cooled ganache. Quickly roll each portion between your palms to form smooth balls. Work quickly as the warmth of your hands will soften the mixture.
  5. Add the Sparkle: Immediately roll each truffle ball in the blue sanding sugar until fully coated. This gives the truffles a sparkling appearance and adds a delightful crunch.
  6. Final Chill: Place the coated truffles on the lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour to set completely, ensuring they hold their shape perfectly.

Notes

  • Use only high-quality white chocolate chips to achieve a smooth texture and rich flavor.
  • Do not substitute heavy whipping cream as it contributes to the truffle’s creamy consistency.
  • Blue curaçao not only adds color but also a subtle citrus note; omit if alcohol is a concern, but flavor will differ.
  • Work quickly when shaping the truffles to prevent the mixture from becoming too soft.
  • Alternative coatings such as powdered sugar, shredded coconut, or cocoa powder can be used to vary flavor and texture.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within one week for best freshness.
