Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the cream with the corn syrup in a small saucepan until it just begins to boil. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, stirring until itās melted and the mixture is smooth. Mix in the Cognac. Scrape the mixture into a small bowl and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
Step 2
Line a dinner plate with plastic wrap. Form little 1/2-inch (2-cm) truffles using two small spoons. Scoop up a teaspoonful of truffle mixture, then scrape it off with the other spoon onto the dinner plate. Repeat, using all the truffle mix. Freeze the truffles until ready to mix in.
Mixing Them In
Step 3
Fold the Dark Chocolate Truffles into 1 quart (1 liter) of ice cream as you remove it from the machine. If you wish, break or chop the chilled truffles into smaller pieces first.
Storage
Step 4
Dark Chocolate Truffles can be refrigerated or frozen, well wrapped, for up to 2 weeks.
