What could be more Irish than gorgeous Guinness and throwing chocolate into the mix just makes almost anything a wee bit more special. First comes the Guinness. In a small pan heat the Guinness with the sugar till it has completely dissolved. I got 20 truffles from my recipe.How to serve these chocolate truffles How long will these chocolate truffles keep? Meanwhile have the white chocolate melting in a clean bowl over the simmering water. Allow this to cool and then drizzle it all over your Guinness Truffles. I like to think the white chocolate looks like the creamy head you get on top of a glass of Guinness. Don’t cover the truffles completely just swish it over them. If using double cream, add it and beat until you have a spreadable consistency. If using whipping cream, whisk first to soft peaks, add a couple of spoonfuls into the cream cheese mixture and once this is combined, fold in the rest.

Condiments

Don’t you just love recipes with only a few ingredients. Even better when those are things you often have in your larder/store cupboard. If you don’t have Guinness on hand, feel free to substitute another beer of choice. You can also replace the Guinness with extra whipping cream if you want to make an alcohol-free ganache. The result will be a standard dark chocolate truffle, but it will still taste delicious. If you’re making your truffles ahead of time, plan to re-roll just prior to serving, as the ganache will gradually absorb the cocoa powder. Allow truffles to come up to room temperature prior to serving. Truffle Variations Pour the Guinness into a large wide saucepan, add the butter — in spoons or slices — and heat until the butter's melted, at which time you should whisk in the cocoa and sugar. Beat the sour cream with the eggs and vanilla and then pour into the brown, buttery, beery pan and finally whisk in the flour and bicarb.
