Title: Boris Truffle
Categories: Five, Chocolate, Breads, Snacks, Beer
Yield: 3 Servings
12 oz Boris the Spider beer
8 oz Semi sweet chocolate
1/2 c Unsalted butter; softened
3/4 c Pretzel rods;
- finely pulverized
3/4 c Crushed pretzels;
- for rolling
Place 1/4 cup plus 2 tb Boris the Spider in a 2 cup saucepan. Set
aside. Pour the remaining beer into a separate small saucepan and
bring to a simmer. Cook until reduced to 1 tb, about 15 to
20 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on this because once reduced
considerably, it can burn easily.
Chop the chocolate into pieces and place in the saucepan with the
beer. Place the saucepan over medium to low heat and let stand
until the chocolate starts to melt. Stir with the wire whisk to
blend together the chocolate pieces, but don't whisk too vigorously
(you don't want air). When the chocolate is melted and smooth,
begin to add 1 tb butter at a time. Whisk gently until the butter
is melted, and then add 1 tb Boris the Spider reduction. Stir in
the pulverized pretzels.
Pour the chocolate mixture into a bowl and chill in the
refrigerator until firm or overnight. Line a cookie sheet with wax
paper. Scoop out ganache by the heaping 1 tb and quickly roll
between your palms. Once all the chocolate is used up, chill
truffles in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to roll
in the crushed pretzels. These will keep for 7 days in the fridge.
Roll truffles in crushed pretzels just before serving.
