I’m at it again! Another #ChocolateWeek recipe to live by. Nothing is more nostalgic than an old fashion funnel cake and I’m taking it a step further by adding my own twist!
Hope you enjoy my take on this classic treat. Here is the Irish Whiskey Funnel Cake topped w/Salted Chocolate.
Start by melting 1/2 cup of 60% dark chocolate, using the double boiler method…
…for about 5 mins or until it reaches 120°F.
Next emulsify 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream…
…and 1 tbsp of cold butter into the heated chocolate, constantly stirring to thoroughly mix these ingredients.
Once the mixture is emulsified add 1 tbsp of Irish Whiskey…
…and 2 tsps of sea salt.
Mix well and pour mixture into a squeeze bottle for later use.
In a separate mixing bowl add 1 whole egg…
…1 cup of milk…
…2 tsps kosher salt…
…1 tsp vanilla extract…
…and 2 tbsps of Irish whiskey.
Give this a good whisk.
Add 2 tsps of baking powder…
…and 1 cup of all purpose flour.
Continue whisking until the batter is completely smooth.
Then transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle.
Slowly squeeze the batter into a pan of frying oil (heated to 350°F), making small circular motions.
Fry the funnel cake on both sides for about 2-3 mins.
Once the funnel cake is golden brown, transfer it to a paper towel and/or rack to drain any excess oil.
When you are ready to plate simply top the funnel cake with your salted chocolate…
…add a generous topping of powdered sugar…
…and there you have it, a delicious Irish Whiskey Funnel Cake with Salted Chocolate. Enjoy!
