  • Directions

    1. To make the porter chocolate truffles, place chocolate and heavy cream in a heat-proof bowl over (not on) simmering water. Let chocolate and cream heat up for 3 minutes untouched. After 3 minutes whisk mixture until fully incorporated.
    2. Remove bowl from heat and let cool for 20 - 30 minutes. Slowly and gently stir in porter. Pour finished mixture into a flat casserole pan. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.
