Classic Truffles With Chef Rafer Directions 1/3 Forming truffles is easiest with a 1-3/4 inch ice-cream scoop; two spoons will also work. Makes about 4 dozen. Bring cream, butter, and corn syrup to a boil over medium heat in a small saucepan. Turn off heat. Add 1 pound chocolate; gently swirl pan to cover chocolate with cream, but do not stir. Let stand 5 minutes. Slowly whisk mixture until melted and smooth. Transfer to a large bowl; refrigerate, stirring every 15 minutes. After 45 minutes mixture will thicken quickly, so stir every 3-5 minutes until thick enough to scoop, 10-20 minutes more.

Classic Truffles With Chef Rafer Directions 2/3 Using a small ice-cream scoop or two spoons, form into 1-inch balls; transfer balls to a parchment- lined baking sheet. Re-chill mixture if it gets too warm to hold its shape. Refrigerate until firm but not hard, about 10 minutes. Remove from refrigerator; roll in palms to form balls, and press gently with fingers to create irregular shapes. Refrigerate, covered or in an airtight container, until ready to dip (up to 1 week). Place remaining 12 ounces chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water; stir occasionally until chocolate melts. Remove from heat; let cool slightly.
