Delicious really easy chocolate truffles. Make sure you use absolutely the highest quality chocolate in this one.
1. Boil cream in a heavy pan until reduced by half. Remove from heat, stir in Grand Marnier and chocolate, and return to low heat; stir until chocolate melts.
2. Whisk in softened butter. When mixture is smooth, pour into a shallow bowl and refrigerate until firm, about 40 minutes.
3. Scoop chocolate up with a teaspoon and shape into rough 1-inch balls. Roll the truffle balls in the unsweetened cocoa.
4. Store truffles, covered, in the refrigerator. Let truffles stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
5. Variations: Mocha: Substitute espresso and a pinch of freshly ground coffee for Grand Marnier. Hazelnut: Substitute Frangelico for Grand Marnier and roll in chopped hazelnuts instead of the cocoa.
