Guinness Oreo Truffles
YumGuinness Oreo Truffles : no bake, reduced dark Irish dry stout with semi sweet chocolate truffles are your favourite St. Patrick’s treat this year !
The essence of every truffles dessert recipe is the concentrated flavour you add so every bite shows the basic ingredient. Guinness Oreo Truffles are not an exception to this rule. The main ingredient is beautiful dark Irish dry stout, reduced. It emphasizes beautiful Guinness bitterness combined with semi sweet high quality chocolate. Oreo cookies powder’s role is to make the mixture thicker and it does not overpower the main flavours at all.
Of course, Golden Oreos or any other type of biscuits were not an option not because of pale colour but intense vanilla flavour.
To get exact quantity of reduced stout, you may have to check the quantity while reducing ; just pour it into measuring cup to check how far you’ve gone π
If you reduce Guinness in wide, large pan, you definitely speed the process up and it takes 13 minutes only.
