How to Make Rich Truffles With A Hint Of Grand Marnier

In a medium saucepan, gently heat 1 cup heavy cream and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat.
Remove from heat and add 8 ounces of finely chopped high-quality dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher).
Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Grand Marnier.
If lumps form, continue stirring; they will smooth out as the mixture cools.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
Once firm, using a melon baller or teaspoon, scoop out 3/4-inch sized balls of truffle mixture.
Roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder or granulated sugar.
For an elegant presentation, place the truffles in mini paper or foil muffin cups.
