How to Make Chocolate Truffle Loaf

  1. Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream and 2 large egg yolks until well combined.
  3. Set the egg yolk mixture aside.
  4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 8 ounces (225g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/4 cup (50ml) light corn syrup, and 4 tablespoons (55g) unsalted butter. Stir constantly until smooth and melted.
  5. Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture into the melted chocolate mixture.
  6. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened slightly.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
  8. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup (50g) powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
  10. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  11. Refrigerate overnight or freeze for at least 3 hours to allow the loaf to set completely.
  12. To serve, invert the loaf onto a serving plate. Carefully peel away the plastic wrap.
  13. Serve plain, with a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of raspberry sauce.
