🥄 Yield: Approximately 5 dozen truffles
📝 Instructions:
-
Melt 1 pound of white chocolate: Begin by melting 1 pound of white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Stir continuously until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
-
Add sweetened condensed milk: Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk until well combined. This will give the truffles a creamy texture and a hint of sweetness.
-
Incorporate liqueur: Add 2 tablespoons of liqueur of your choice, such as Grand Marnier or Kahlua, to the chocolate mixture. The liqueur will add depth of flavor and a subtle hint of alcohol, enhancing the overall taste of the truffles. Stir until the liqueur is fully incorporated.
-
Chill the mixture: Transfer the chocolate mixture to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm. This will make it easier to shape the truffles later on.
-
Shape into balls: Once the mixture is firm, use a teaspoon or a melon baller to scoop out small portions of the chocolate mixture. Roll each portion into a ball between the palms of your hands, forming smooth, round truffles.
-
Prepare for coating: Place the shaped truffles on a wax paper-lined tray, leaving some space between each truffle. This will prevent them from sticking together as you coat them with chocolate.
-
Melt remaining white chocolate: In a clean, heatproof bowl, melt the remaining white chocolate using the same method as before. This will be used for coating the truffles.
-
Coat the truffles: Using a fork or a dipping tool, carefully dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring that it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated truffles back onto the wax paper-lined tray.
-
Garnish (optional): If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the freshly coated truffles before the chocolate sets. Alternatively, you can dust them with cocoa powder for a classic finish.
-
Chill again: Once all the truffles are coated and garnished, return the tray to the refrigerator and chill for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set.
-
Serve and enjoy!: Once the chocolate has set, transfer the truffles to a serving platter or an airtight container. These White Chocolate Truffles can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve them as a sweet treat after dinner or package them up beautifully to give as gifts to friends and loved ones.
