Chocolate truffles are inherently simple confections. These rich, dense balls of ganache often contain nothing more than good-quality bar chocolate and heavy cream. Yet they’re surprisingly difficult to get right. The chocolate-to-cream ratio must be spot-on, and creating a smooth, shiny coating is even more finicky. Our approach produces flawless results for anyone, regardless of their candy-making experience.
Fortunately, we were able to achieve the characteristic complex and balanced flavor with the right combination of stateside staples. Keeping the marinade paste-like and cooking the meat first over indirect heat prevents the jerk flavors from dripping or peeling off during grilling. And to achieve that complex smokiness that’s characteristic of jerk recipes, we supplemented a packet of hickory chips with a few spice-cabinet ingredients.
