Ingredients
- 10 ounces duck mousse with cognac
- 5 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup dried cranberries finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons elderflower liquor* St. Germain works best
- 1 cup whole pecans slightly toasted and crushed
Instructions
- In a bowl, fold together the duck mousse, cream cheese, and chopped cranberries.
- Drizzle in the elderflower liquor and stir until combined.
- Chill the mixture for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. In the meantime, place crushed pecans on a plate.
- Once mixture is chilled, remove from fridge and using greased hands (a little olive oil does the trick) quickly form into a ball. Place on plate and coat with crushed pecans on all side.
- Place back in the refrigerator until ready to serve alongside fresh fruit, nuts, and crackers.
Notes
*Elderflower liquor lends to providing a slight floral and sweet note to this recipe. If you don't have any on hand, a teaspoon of Grand Marnier (orange liquor) works as well.
