Prep Time: 4 hours | Yield: 50

Ingredients

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix
  • eggs
  • oil
  • sparkky's coffee chocolate milk stout (approx 1 C - depending on your cake mix)
  • 6 Tbsp butter, room temperature
  • 2 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 C powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp espresso powder
  • 1/4 C coffee stout
  • sprinkles/garnish

Directions

  1. To make these chocolate stout truffles, make cake in a 9x13 pan as instructed on box (that's why I didn't list any measurements for ingredients), substituting coffee stout (I highly recommend this one!!!) for the water.
  2. Allow to cool.
  3. Beat butter and cream cheese until fluffy and well combined.
  4. Sift in powdered sugar and espresso powder and beat well.
  5. Add coffee stout and beat until fluffy.
  6. Crumble the cake in a large mixing bowl and stir in the frosting until you get something gooey, yet moldable.
  7. Form into balls about the size of ping-pong balls and place on a cookie sheet.  They can be really close together - pack 'em in there.  I use a small cookie scoop - WAY easier.
  8. Pop the tray in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to let the goop stiffen a little.
  9. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and butter and keep stirring until smooth.  Reduce heat to low to keep warm and smooth (but make sure you're not overcooking the chocolate!).  Set a giant piece of waxed paper or parchment on the counter.
  10. Remove balls from freezer and dip in the melted chocolate, coating completely, then set on the waxed paper.
  11. Top with sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
  12. Voila!  Enjoy!  Now you only have like 99 more to go!

Braised Pork Shoulder in Adobo with Pickled Vegetables

April 30, 2018

After growing up in the Midwest, where thick and sticky barbecue sauce coats all braised and pulled pork, it was refreshing to learn this less cloying, more umami-driven recipe from chef Carlo Lamagna at Clyde Common in Portland, Oregon. Tangy adobo is a big flavor, and the pickled vegetables that accompany this dish are used to bring out the vinegar and add some texture to each bite. This dish, inspired by Carlo’s Filipino heritage, is best served family style right out of the Dutch oven with plenty of jasmine rice to go with it. When you pair this dish with an IPA, you help your palate learn how hops and bitterness pair well with a little bit of spice as well as the acidity of a pickling process.
