You know that craving that sometimes hits you when you cannot decide if it’s chocolate or a cocktail (it’s usually wine for me) that would hit the spot. Next time when that happens try these quite genius London Gin Truffles from Prestat. I know it sounds bit odd to have Gin in a chocolate, but after tasting one I was convinced that this is a combo that works. This might raise the question that have I actually lived in London long enough to become British? Maybe I have as there are moments when I cannot decide if my favorite tipple is Margarita or Gin&Tonic. Shocking really as I never really used to drink G&T before I moved to London.
London Gin Truffles have a melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate ganache center flavoured with gin and infused with lemon and juniper berries wrapped in a crispy and silky white chocolate cover. Drool! White chocolate might just be my favorite kind of chocolate. What Christmas would be complete (I am sharing this in the least pathetic way) without White Toblerone? I am having a Gavin&Stacey moment every time I think of White Toblerone and now I am starting to crave Mint Baileys as well… If you have never seen Gavin&Stacey 2008 Christmas Special you must watch it. It’s one of my all-time favorite Christmas Specials.
These truffles are so soft and gooey in the middle with a shell that cracks (in a good way!) when you bite into it. Now I just wonder how would these truffles be if I would enjoy them with a glass of G&T? Tastebuds gone crazy or the perfect marriage of chocolate and gin ever? Might just have to try…
