Lia’S Dark Chocolate Truffles
- 7 ounces, fluid Heavy Cream
- 2 ounces, fluid Corn Syrup
- 15 ounces, weight Dark Chocolate, Unmelted, Tempered, Chopped
- 1/2 ounces, weight Soft Butter
- 1-1/2 ounce, fluid Liqueur: Brandy, Kahlua, Schnapps, Chambord, Grand Marnier
- 2 pounds Dark Chocolate, Melted And Tempered, For Precoating And Dipping
- Combine cream and corn syrup and bring to a boil.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let sit for about sixty seconds to allow the chocolate to melt.
- Whisk together, checking to see if all the chocolate is melted. If needed, place briefly over a warm water bath, but do not exceed 94 degrees.
- Stir in soft butter. Then stream in the liqueur and mix until homogeneous.
- Pour ganache into a large shallow pan. Let it rest at room temperature until slightly firm. Agitate/stir around the ganache with a spatula to break it up a bit.
- Scoop truffles onto parchment paper and let sit until firm enough to handle.
- Roll into balls and precoat in tempered chocolate. Dip again once the first layer of chocolate is set.
- If desired, roll in cocoa powder. Truffles should look beautifully imperfect!
