Tip:
To make the truffles grab an ice cream scoop or a melon baller. Scoop out the mixture. This way you’ll have truffles that’re all the same size and it’ll be much easier to roll them without getting too messy. Once you’ve scooped them out give them a roll, between your palms to make them nice and smooth before coating them with sanding sugar. This technique ensures that your truffles will be perfectly round and evenly sized giving them an attractive appearance. It’s a time saver when you’re busy, during the holiday season!
