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:
-
Prepare the Pan:
- Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides for easy removal later.
-
Mix Egg Yolk with Cream:
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of heavy cream with the egg yolk, whisking until well blended.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Pour into Pan:
- Pour the combined mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula for a smooth finish.
-
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.
-
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!
