Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment or aluminum foil.

In the top of a double boiler over low heat, stir 4 ounces of the chocolate until melted.
Step 3:
Remove from the heat and beat in the cream and cognac. Blend in the apricots, chopped hazelnuts, ginger, and confectioners sugar. Stir well to combine.
Step 4:
Chill the mixture, if necessary, until firm enough to handle. Form into 1-inch balls and set aside on a sheet of wax paper.
Step 5:
In the top of a double boiler over low heat, stir the remaining 5 ounces of chocolate until melted. Remove from the heat.
Step 6:
Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to run off. Place the truffles on the prepared baking sheet. Top each with a hazelnut half and chill.
Step 7:
When the chocolate has set, the truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
