BLACK GARLIC CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

BLACK GARLIC CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES


Ingredients

  • 220g of bittersweet or dark chocolate (high quality, 60% cacao or higher), well chopped into small pieces. I like to use Lindt or Bourneville.
  • 110ml of heavy whipping cream
  • 45 black garlic cloves

Black Garlic Chocolate Truffles’ coating

  • Cocoa powder
  • Desiccated coconut
  • Finely chopped nuts
  • Finely chopped almonds

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring cream to a simmer. (stir and scrape down the sides with a spatula every few minutes). Add mashed black garlic cloves and whisk gently on a very low heat until garlic almost completely dissolves in cream.
  2. Place the chocolate in a separate bowl. Little by little pour the black garlic cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until smooth.
  3. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for two hours.
  4. Use a teaspoon to roll out balls of the ganache. Roll in your hands quickly and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You’ll find that the ganache will melt from the heat of your hands – when this happens dry your hands with kitchen paper as necessary and continue.
  5. Place the shaped truffles in the refrigerator overnight. The following day roll in the coating of your choice.
  6. Store refrigerated and consume within a week.

Notes

Note that the actual prep and cooking time is less then 1 hour, but your ganache must cool, and truffles must rest before and after shaping to firm up.

WHAT IS BLACK GARLIC

What Is Black Garlic and How Is It Used? Black garlic is fresh, white garlic that has been aged by warming the garlic bulbs at about 140˚ to 190˚ F in high humidity for an extended period of time (often a month or more) until the cloves become tender and black in color. Some black garlic is also aged through yeast-fermentation under the same conditions. During the aging process the cloves undergo  the Maillard reaction  as the heat creates changes in the amino acids and sugars in the garlic. This reaction is what gives black garlic its rich, tangy, molasses-like flavor and black color. (One common myth about black garlic is that it’s fermented; it is  not.  By definition, fermentation is a chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or microorganisms, and it is a process often used in the production of foods like sauerkraut and beer. In contrast, the changes in the color and flavor that occur in white garlic in order to make black garlic are all due to the...
