Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 16 ounces powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup corn syrup
• 1/4 cup unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 1 egg yolk

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pan:

   • Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides for easy removal later.

2. Mix Egg Yolk with Cream:

   • In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of heavy cream with the egg yolk, whisking until well blended.

3. Melt Chocolate Mixture:

   • In a 3-quart saucepan, melt the unsweetened chocolate, corn syrup, and butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and well combined.

4. Incorporate Egg Mixture:

   • Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, add the egg and cream mixture, stirring continuously. Cook for about 3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Be sure to keep stirring to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

5. Cool to Room Temperature:

   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. This step is crucial for ensuring the proper texture of your truffle loaf.

6. Whip Heavy Cream:

   • In a separate bowl, beat the remaining heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This will add a light and airy texture to your truffle mixture.

7. Combine Cream and Chocolate:

   • Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. This step requires a gentle hand to maintain the airy texture.

8. Pour into Pan:

   • Pour the combined mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula for a smooth finish.

9. Refrigerate Overnight:

   • Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. This extended chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.

10. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once fully chilled and set, remove the loaf from the pan by lifting the plastic wrap. Slice the Buffalo Truffle Loaf into decadent portions and serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Indulge in the rich, chocolatey goodness with every bite!

This Buffalo Truffle Loaf is perfect for any special occasion or when you’re simply craving a luxurious treat. Prepare it ahead of time for effortless entertaining or as a delightful surprise for your loved ones. Enjoy the heavenly combination of chocolate, cream, and vanilla in every mouthful!
