WHITE TRUFFLES
Steps:
- Place the cream in a heat-proof bowl, and set the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Cook until heated through. Using a wire whisk, slowly stir the white chocolate into the warm cream until completely melted. Whisk in the liqueur and vanilla. Cover and chill for 1 hour or until pliable but firm enough to scoop. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. With 2 teaspoons or a 1 1/4-inch ice cream scoop, make dollops of the chocolate mixture and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, until firm enough to roll into rough spheres. Place the chopped hazelnuts on a sheet pan and place them in the oven for 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Melt the bittersweet chocolate in a heat-proof bowl, set over a pan of simmering water. Drizzle the melted bittersweet chocolate over 10 of the truffles. Roll the remaining truffles in the chopped nuts. Chill until ready to serve.

Tips:
- Using high-quality ingredients is key to making delicious White Russian Truffles. Opt for a smooth, creamy vodka, fresh espresso, and rich, velvety chocolate.
- For a silky smooth texture, ensure the vodka and espresso are well-chilled before mixing them with the melted chocolate.
- Patience is essential in the chilling process. Allow the mixture to cool for at least 30 minutes before rolling the truffles, and then freeze them for at least an hour before dipping them in chocolate.
- To achieve a uniform truffle shape, use a melon scoop or small cookie scoop to portion the mixture.
- If the dipping chocolate is too thick, you can thin it with a little bit of coconut oil or heavy cream.
- Be creative with your decorations! You can use cocoa powder, sprinkles, crushed nuts, or even edible gold flakes to make your truffles look extra special.
