Ingredients
There’s something inherently charming about simplicity, and these truffles capture that essence. With only four ingredients, they are a testament to the idea that less is more. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just starting out, you’ll find joy in their ease of preparation. These truffles are a delightful nod to my childhood, where the simplest recipes often carried the richest memories. The pop of blue adds a whimsical touch, reminiscent of crisp, frosty mornings in Devon. They’re perfect for gifting, sharing, or savoring alone with a cup of tea.
Instructions
Now, let’s bring these truffles to life with step-by-step guidance:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the white chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This process should take about 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add a few drops of blue food coloring, stirring until you achieve your desired shade. Remember, a little goes a long way.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool for about 30 minutes, or until it’s firm enough to handle.
- Scoop out small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, a dusting of confectioners’ sugar can help.
- Place the truffles on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
These steps are simple, reminiscent of the clear, wind-swept days of my youth, where every action in the kitchen was a small part of a greater, heartwarming story.
