Steps:
- Make the truffles:.
- Heat heavy cream, butter and sugar in medium saucepan over medium heat to a gentle boil. Remove from heat. Add chopped chocolate and let stand 30 seconds. Whisk until smooth. Stir in cognac.
- Place saucepan in bowl of ice water. Beat chocolate mixture until it thickens, holds its shape and is firm enough to pipe, using hand-held electric mixer at medium speed.
- Transfer ganache to pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch plain tip (such as Ateco #6). Pipe 1-inch mounds onto baking sheet. Freeze truffles for 15 minutes or until just firm enough to shape.
- With hands dusted with confectioners' sugar, gently roll ganache into 1-inch balls. Refrigerate about 10 minutes or just until firm.
- Coat the truffles:.
- Roll one-third of the truffles in confectioners' sugar. Roll another third in cocoa powder. Then roll remaining truffles in chopped walnuts. Store truffles in airtight container in refrigerator up to 5 days.
- To serve:
- Remove truffles from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Place each truffle in a decorative petit four paper cup and arrange on serving plate.
