Method

Use a large swiss roll tray in which to make these truffles (13 inch by 9inch)
Grease large swiss roll tray (13inch by 9 inch) very lightly and line it completely with about 2-3 layers of cling film.
Place a sheet of baking parchment across the bottom of the tray.
Add the butter and cream to a saucepan and allow to come to a rapid boil.
Add this to the melted chocolate and whisk rapidly.
Then add in the egg yolks, orange zest and Grand Marnier (if using) and whisk thoroughly.
Pour into the prepared tray, allow to cool and then refrigerate for 5-6 hours.
Leave at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften slightly.
Break or cut the chocolate slab into small pieces.
Roll the truffles into balls using your chosen coating and serve or refrigerate.
These will keep in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
