Background

If you want a super-easy, very tasty and delicate looking gift or treat for Christmas, New Year, Easter, St Valentine's day or other celebrations - these white chocolate truffles will tick all the boxes. You can leave out the booze if it's not appropriate! Serve it as a snack at the end of a special dinner with coffee or dessert wine. Alternatively wrap them in boxes and give them as presents to your friends! They will just adore them!

Ingredients

200g white chocolate
50 ml double cream
1 Tbsp liqueur
Garnish: shredded coconut, icing sugar, cocoa powder, edible glitter, ground nuts etc

Instructions

Break the chocolate into small pieces and put into a heavy-based pan. Add the cream and liqueur and warm it up gently, whilst stirring constantly.
When the chocolate is melted, turn off the heat and pour it into a bowl. Let it cool then put it to rest in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (under cover to avoid absorbing other food odours).
Spoon little dumplings into your palm and form small balls.
Rotate the balls in your choice of desiccated coconut, cocoa powder, icing sugar, edible glitter, finely chopped nuts and so on. Chill them in the refrigerator until serving.

Tips

Coconut, almond or orange liqueur work well (or limoncello at Easter)
You can make snowmen at Christmas: Add coconut liquor to the chocolate. When cooled form 3 different sizes of balls and rotate them in desiccated coconut. Put the balls on top of each other, then using dried cranberries, raisins and almonds/ pistachios create eyes, nose and buttons. Use ribbons for the scarf.
