Goat Cheese-Coated Grapes

• 16 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
• 12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons mascarpone or sour cream
• 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
• 1 pound red seedless grapes, stems removed and wiped clean
• 2 cups finely chopped lightly toasted pecans

1. In a bowl fitted with an electric mixer, cream together the goat cheese, cream cheese, mascarpone and liqueur.
2. Working 1 at a time, spoon about 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture around each grape, rolling between your hands to coat evenly.
3. Place on a dish and refrigerate until slightly set, about 20 minutes.
4. In a shallow dish, place the pecans.
5. Roll the cheese-coated grapes in the pecans and place on a platter.
6. Chill until set 30 minutes to 1 hour.
7. Serve.
