Goat Cheese and Salty Lemon Truffles

This recipe was inspired by Paul A Young, a retired UK chocolatier who loved making savory combinations. He says: “Goat cheese isn’t the most obvious food to pair with chocolate, but when lemon is introduced the result is to die for – similar to cheesecake but with a slightly more acidic finish and a lighter texture.”

To ramp-up the flavours, I used an in-house made salted lemon paste.

The truffles were rolled in freshly ground Venezuelan nibs.

Savour the flavours as a true connoisseur: take a small bite. The result? Tangy lemon bursts out of the creamy cheesy ganache. The dusting of ground Venezuelan nibs entices your taste buds.  What complex favours do you detect?
