Chocolate Grand Marnier Balls Recipes

GRAND MARNIER BALLS

Steps:

• Put cream, butter and sugar into saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil, stirring often. Remove from heat.
• Add Grand Marnier, chocolate and crumbs. Mix well. Shape into 42 balls. Roll in chocolate sprinkles. Chill or freeze.

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Chop the chocolates finely with a sharp knife. Place them in a heat-proof mixing bowl.
• Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just boils. Turn off the heat and allow the cream to sit for 20 seconds. Pour the cream through a fine-meshed sieve into the bowl with chocolate. With a wire whisk, slowly stir the cream and chocolates together until the chocolate is completely melted. Whisk in the Grand Marnier, if using, coffee, and vanilla. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
• With 2 teaspoons, spoon round balls of the chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until firm. Roll each dollop of chocolate in your hands to roughly make a round ball. Roll in confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, or both. These will keep refrigerated for weeks, but serve at room temperature.

GRAND MARNIER CHOCOLATE COOKIE BALLS (NO BAKE)

Steps:

• In very large bowl, combine wafer crumbs, cocoa, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly.
• Add corn syrup, orange extract, and Grand Marnier and stir until large ball forms. If too crumbly add small amounts of corn syrup or liqueur until mixture sticks together well.
• Roll in your hands to form into 1 inch balls (I used a small cookie scoop and then rolled into balls).
• Roll balls in granulated sugar and place on wax-paper lined tray.
• Store in airtight container for a few days to build flavor. Place wax paper between layers of cookie balls to prevent sticking together.
• If desired, can roll in powdered sugar or cocoa instead of granulated sugar. If sugar disappears while balls are being stored, roll again in sugar before serving.

ESPRESSO-GRAND MARNIER BALLS

Steps:

• Pulverize the chocolate wafers and hazelnuts together in a food processor. Add the confectioners' sugar and process to combine.
• Dissolve the espresso in the Grand Marnier and add to the chocolate crumbs along with the corn syrup. Process until the mixture forms a moist mass.
• Break off small pieces of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the granulated sugar in a shallow bowl and roll each ball in the sugar to coat. Store loosely packed between layers of waxed paper in a cookie tin.
• Let age 1 week before serving.
