Instructions

  1. Heat the Cream and Butter: In a medium saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream and sweet butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to simmer. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

  2. Add the Chocolate and Grand Marnier: Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the finely chopped chocolate. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the Grand Marnier and continue stirring to incorporate the flavors.

  3. Smooth Out Any Lumps: If the mixture appears lumpy, donโ€™t worry. Keep stirring, and it will smooth out into a velvety texture.

  4. Chill the Mixture: Pour the chocolate mixture into a shallow dish, cover it, and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until it is firm enough to handle.

  5. Shape the Truffles: Using a melon baller or a teaspoon, scoop out small portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them between your hands to form 3/4-inch balls.

  6. Coat the Truffles: Roll each truffle in cocoa powder or powdered sugar until well-coated. For an elegant touch, you can place each truffle in a mini paper or foil muffin cup.

  7. Gift Giving: These truffles make a delightful gift! Arrange them in a beautiful box or tin, and theyโ€™ll surely impress anyone lucky enough to receive them.
