Ingredients
White chocolate cranberry Cointreau truffles
- 2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup cointreau liqueur (or other orange liqueur or substitute with freshly squeezed orange juice)
- 100 gram butter
- 375 gram (1 packet) white chocolate melts
- 2 1/2 cup icing sugar
- packet of white chocolate melts, to dip
- gold foil truffle cases for presentation
Method
White chocolate cranberry Cointreau truffles
-
1Place dried cranberries and Cointreau in a microwaveable jug and cook on high for three to four minutes. Cool. The cranberries will absorb the Cointreau and plump up.
-
2Add the butter and white chocolate melts. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until melted. Stir in the icing sugar and allow the mixture to cool enough to handle.
-
3Roll into balls the size of large marbles. Place these on a plastic tray and freeze for at least an hour until solid.
-
4Place second packet of melts in a small metal bowl over a saucepan of hot water and gently melt until smooth.
-
5Using a dipping fork, dip each frozen truffle in white chocolate and allow to set on a sheet of non-stick baking paper or tinfoil. Place each truffle in a case, then box or package in cellophane, decorating with festive ribbons and trims.
