- The ale needs only to be warm enough to melt the chocolate overheating it will cook off the alcohol which is the natural preservative in this ganache.
- Pour the ale into a blender and add the chocolate gradually on medium speed until smooth.
- Cool for 30 minutes and pipe into shells, or leave to set in the fridge, then hand roll into truffles.
- Use the tempered chocolate for coating.
