Grand Marnier Sauce: In saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar; whisk in whipping cream. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until thick enough to coat back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Strain into bowl. Stir in Grand Marnier; let cool. (Make-ahead: Place plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.) Spoon over chocolate in glasses.
