Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Bring cream to a boil with star anise in a small heavy saucepan, then remove from heat and let stand 15 minutes.
  2. Finely grind bittersweet chocolate in a food processor and transfer to a bowl.
  3. Return cream to a simmer, then remove from heat and stir in Cognac. Sour cream mixture through a fine sieve onto chocolate and whisk until chocolate is melted and ganache is smooth. Pour ganache into an 8- by 4-inch loaf pan lined with plastic wrap, smoothing top, and chill, uncovered, until firm, about 4 hours.
  4. Loosen edges of ganache with a sharp small knife and invert onto a cutting surface. Remove plastic wrap and cut ganache into 40 squares.
  5. Dust your palms with cocoa and roll each piece of ganache between them to form a ball. Drop ball into cocoa bowl and turn to cover completely. Lift truffle with a fork and transfer to a plate. Chill truffles, covered, until ready to serve.
  6. Cooks' note: • Truffles keep, covered and chilled, 1 week.
