Number Of Ingredients 5

2/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into very small pieces
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons Grand Marnier
1/3 cup premium cocoa

Steps:

  • How to make Grand Marnier truffles:
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream and orange zest just to a boil. Remove from the heat immediately. Add the chopped chocolate and Grand Marnier and stir until the mixture - ganache - is completely smooth.
  • Chill the ganache until it is hard enough to roll into balls. Measuring out a heaping teaspoon, quickly roll the ganache into a ball. Roll the ball in the cocoa powder and chill.
  • This Grand Marnier chocolate truffles recipe makes about 16 truffles.
