Grand Marnier Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 ml) 35% whipping cream
- 12 oz (360 g) semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Grand Marnier (optional)
- Cocoa powder
- Icing sugar
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat the cream until it is almost boiling, small bubbles will appear around the cream.
- Remove from the heat, add the chocolate and stir until melted. If necessary, place the saucepan in a pan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate has completely melted. Add the Grand Marnier and stir to blend. Pour the mixture into a bowl, let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- The preparation should be cool and thick but pourable. Whip with an electric mixer until it is like very stiff whipped cream.
- With a spoon, take about 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of ganache for each truffle and roll into a ball with your hands coated with cocoa powder. Place on parchment paper. Let stand for one hour. Roll the truffles in the chosen coating. Store in a cool place.
