• 1/2 cup packed light muscovado sugar
• 1 pound Javanese 40% milk chocolate, chopped
• 14 ounces 70% dark chocolate, tempered

1. Put 1/4 cup of the ale and the sugar in a saucepan and stir over low heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2. Add the remaining ale and warm until you can see the alcohols vapors being released from the surface.
3. 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.
4. Pour the ale into a blender and add the chocolate gradually on medium speed until smooth.
5. Cool for 30 minutes and pipe into shells, or leave to set in the fridge, then hand roll into truffles.
