Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz white chocolate chopped
  • 0.33 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 tsp peppermint extract
  • 3 candy canes finely crushed

Method
 

  1. Warm the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to steam.
  2. Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate and let it sit one minute, then stir smooth.
  3. Mix in the peppermint extract, then chill the mixture until firm, about two hours.
  4. Scoop and roll the firm ganache into small balls with your hands.
  5. Roll each truffle in the crushed candy canes and chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Dust your palms with a little powdered sugar so the ganache does not stick while rolling.
