Continuing the Christmas traditions today with these Winter White Chocolate Truffles. Although these are not a tradition I grew up with, I adopted them over the years. Now, not a Christmas goes by when I don't make some kind of truffles. These white chocolate ones using Lindt chocolate and the secret ingredient of Cointreau are Christmas decadence at it's finest.
In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, add the cream Bring to a simmer and add the chocolate. Immediately reduce heat to low and start whisking until the chocolate melts. Whisk in Cointreau liquor and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate.
Remove from fridge. Using a small teaspoon, scoop out spoonfuls of the chocolate. Roll into balls and coat with coconut. Store in the refrigerator.
