Serves: 24 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer, being careful not to let it boil.
- Remove the cream from heat and add the chopped white chocolate, stirring gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Whisk in the eggnog, ground nutmeg, and powdered sugar until fully incorporated and the mixture is completely uniform.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for approximately 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle and has a thick, ganache-like consistency.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out small balls of the chilled mixture, rolling them quickly between your palms to create smooth, round truffles.
- Place the crushed graham crackers in a shallow dish and roll each truffle to coat completely, ensuring an even coverage of crumbs.
- Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to set.
- Before serving, let the truffles sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly and enhance their creamy texture.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, separating layers with parchment paper.
Tips
- • Use high-quality white chocolate for the smoothest, most luxurious texture • Ensure your cream is heated gently to prevent scorching • Chill the mixture thoroughly - patience is key to perfect truffle formation • Roll truffles quickly to prevent melting from the heat of your hands • For a more festive look, consider garnishing with a light dusting of nutmeg or edible glitter • Let truffles sit at room temperature briefly before serving for the most melt-in-your-mouth experience • Store in a cool place and consume within 5 days for optimal flavor and texture
