TRUFFLE CHEESE

INGREDIENTS:

80 grams créme fraîche

50 grams fresh black truffle, microplaned

200 gram wheel of good quality, creamy soft cheese (we love the Ash Brie from our local cheese maker Udder Delights)

METHOD:

Allow the créme fraîche to soften slightly at room temperature and mix to create an even consistency.

Sprinkle the microplaned black truffle into the créme fraîche, stirring gently to incorporate evenly.

While still cold and firm, slice the soft cheese in half horizontally to create two discs.

Spread the créme fraîche - truffle mixture to one cut side of the cheese and sandwich with the other cheese disc.

Wrap the cheese tightly in food wrap (plastic, paper or bees wax) and refrigerate for 24 - 48 hours.

Remove cheese from refrigerator 2 - 3 hours before serving to bring to room temperature.

Serve with your favourite cheese board accompaniments and enjoy!
