  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 ounces (1/4 cup) Crave Brothers Mascarpone at room temperature
  • 1 tablespook Grand Marnier or other favorite liqueur

For Rolling

  • 1 cup finely ground pecans or walnuts (or powdered sugar & sprinkles)

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients except the nuts in a medium bowl. Set bowl on pan of simmering water; do not allow bowl to touch water. (Or place it in top of double boiler.) Heat until melted, smooth and warm. Watch closely and stir often. Remove from heat, cover and refrigerate overnight.

  • Remove from refrigeration about 10 minutes before serving. Refrigerate any remaining truffles.

Coating Option

  • Melt 6 ounces best quality dark or semisweet chocolate in bowl over pan of simmering water. Roll the truffle balls in the chocolate to evenly coat. If desired, then roll in ground nuts, powdered sugar, sprinkles or any topping of your choice!
