These Cointreau spiked chocolates taste like a holiday! Bringing together the sweet warmth of orange-flavoured liqueur and the sharpness of lime juice, with the creaminess of Callebaut Velvet white chocolate, these indulgent bonbons would pair well with a frozen Margarita on a sunny day.

How to Make Lime and Cointreau Ganache

Makes approx. 60 chocolates at 10g each

Prepare the mould (we used domed bonbon mould SMP3158)
Spray the mould lime green with cocoa butter, then brush with gold creative powder, coat moulds in white chocolate. Turn out excess chocolate to create a shell and leave to set

Make the Ganache

Boil the lime juice and zest, then strain
Add the glucose syrup
Melt the white chocolate
Pour the lime juice & glucose onto the white chocolate and create an emulsion
Add the softened butter
Add the Cointreau

Make Your Bonbons

Pipe the ganache into the prepared moulds and leave to crystallise overnight
Seal with tempered chocolate
