Blueberry Mojito!

I have a new flavor! Once again, my Dad came into play on this one. (Parents are so helpful!) Lately my dad has been very into creating his own ice-creams and sorbets. I must admit, he has become quite good at it too. Our family has a definite sweet tooth. One of his latest creations was a blueberry mojito sorbet...or maybe it was an ice-cream. Either way, it seemed like a genius flavor combination. He told me about it and mentioned how good it could be in a dark chocolate. So I set to work!


Sure enough blueberry with mojito combined in a dark chocolate ganache was a match made in heaven. I might just go mix up the frozen drinkable version of it now! Mojito has the flavors mint, lime, and of course dark rum. These were all very evident and flavorful in the truffle that I created. The blueberry flavor though, was more hidden. It came through just slightly, but I think it was overpowered by the other flavors. This truffle will be perfect when I can get the blueberry to shine through a little more.

    Mint is quite powerful as a flavor ingredient. You definitely should go easy on it. Maybe cutting back on the mint and increasing the amount of blueberries

    I really savored mine and when you let it linger, the blueberry comes through very subtly. A little more would be nice. Kind of hard to get all those flavors in one little truffle. But I thought it was a great effort!
