Malt Powder & Milled Barley
After attending a beer brewing class and having a taste of their delicious malt syrup and powder, I decided it was time to kick the Carnation Malted Milk Powder. I always knew this was a cop-out and was unaware of where to find the real deal. Thus resulting in a bland un-malty, malt truffle. Here at the Culver City Home Brewing Supply Co. I discoverd the many options of correctly adding malt. In moving forward with my recipe I actually opted not to use the sticky syrup. Not only is it extremely sticky but in my mind I couldn’t see it yielding the perfect ganache, let alone be easy to work with. On the other hand the dry malt is very sweet, so I decided to try malting the barley itself in heavy cream. The result was excellent and gave the ganache a wonderful malt flavor. I also then included a pinch of the dry malt for extra sweetness and added texture. This was the Malt Truffle we had been missing and everyone now loves!
