Ingredients

Scale

Blue Truffles Ingredients

  • 100g high-quality blue truffles, finely grated
  • 150g plant-based cheese, creamy texture (plant-based)
  • 75g smoked turkey bacon, chopped into small bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley or chives), finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Chop the smoked turkey bacon into small bite-sized pieces, then cook them gently in a non-stick pan over medium heat until crispy but not burnt. Set aside to cool to maintain a crunchy texture without sogginess.
  2. Blend the Plant-Based Cheese and Blue Truffles: In a mixing bowl, combine the plant-based cheese with finely grated blue truffle pieces. Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and freshly cracked black pepper until the mixture becomes smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Incorporate the Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent over the cheese and truffle blend, stirring continuously to ensure even mixing. This is crucial for forming the characteristic truffle texture that holds together perfectly.
  4. Fold in the Smoked Turkey Bacon and Herbs: Gently fold the cooled crispy turkey bacon bits and chopped fresh herbs into your mixture, distributing them evenly to infuse every bite with flavor and texture contrast.
  5. Form and Chill the Truffles: Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop the mixture and quickly shape it into bite-sized balls. Place them on a lined tray, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for at least two hours to set properly.
  6. Add Final Touches: Before serving, roll each Blue Truffle in a dusting of finely chopped herbs or natural crushed nuts for added crunch and visual appeal. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use the freshest blue truffles and herbs for the most vibrant flavor.
  • Cook smoked turkey bacon at medium heat to avoid toughness and ensure crispiness.
  • Shape truffles quickly after mixing as the mixture firms up fast when chilled.
  • Refrigerate thoroughly to develop the ideal texture.
  • Try coating truffles in unsweetened cocoa powder or natural crushed seeds for different tastes and presentation.
