Categories     dessert

Time 3h10m

Yield about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 5

One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup pistachio butter (available at Walmart)
1 1/2 pounds white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • Heat the sweetened condensed milk, pistachio butter and 1 pound white chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium-low heat until the chocolate is melted. Stir; the mixture will have a slight marshmallow texture. Remove from the heat, then cover and refrigerate until chilled, 2 hours.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Melt the remaining 1/2 pound white chocolate together with the coconut oil over a double boiler on medium-low heat until smooth. Set aside.
  • Roll the chilled truffle batter into teaspoon-sized balls. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate coating, and let the excess chocolate drip off. Immediately sprinkle with the chopped pistachios and place on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make more truffles.
  • Allow the chocolate exterior to set completely, about 30 minutes. If short on time, chill for 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Opt for fresh, flavorful ingredients to elevate the taste of your sausage. High-quality pork, aromatic herbs, and premium nuts will make a significant difference.
  • Grind the meat coarsely: Coarsely ground meat provides a better texture and allows the flavors to shine through. You can use a meat grinder or a food processor fitted with a coarse grinding attachment.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile. Classic Italian herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage pair well with the pork, while the addition of fennel seeds and red pepper flakes adds depth and warmth.
  • Incorporate aromatic vegetables: Finely diced vegetables like onion, garlic, and celery add sweetness and depth to the sausage. Sautéing them briefly before adding them to the meat mixture enhances their flavor.
  • Don't overmix the meat mixture: Overmixing can result in tough sausage. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  • Chill the sausage mixture before stuffing: Chilling the sausage mixture helps it firm up and makes it easier to stuff into the casings. Additionally, the cold temperature helps the flavors meld together.
  • Use a sausage stuffer or a piping bag: A sausage stuffer or a piping bag fitted with a large tip makes the stuffing process easier and more efficient. If you don't have these tools, you can stuff the sausage manually using a funnel.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Cook the sausage to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to ensure it is safe to eat. You can pan-fry, grill, or bake the sausage, depending on your preference.

Conclusion:

Homemade truffle and pistachio sausage is a versatile and flavorful delicacy that can be enjoyed in various ways. Its rich, earthy taste, complemented by the aromatic herbs and the crunch of pistachios, makes it a perfect addition to pasta dishes, sandwiches, and pizzas. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create a truly exceptional sausage that will impress your family and friends. Whether you choose to savor it fresh or preserve it for later use, this truffle and pistachio sausage is sure to become a favorite in your culinary repertoire.
