DESSERT SOUFFLES: This is my personal favourite in the souffle category. Hope it will become yours too.

GRAND MARNIER SOUFFLE:

 

 

 

soufflé:

    8 egg yolks  + 10 egg whites

    2/3 cup sugar                                                                      

    ½ cup Grand Marnier

    ¼ tsp. cream of tartar

chocolate Grand Marnier Sauce:

    1 cup 18% cream                                                    

    1 tbsp. butter

    ¼ cup Grand Marnier                                                          

    4 oz semi-sweet chocolate

 

 

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a 6-cup soufflé dish. 

 

Beat egg yolks and sugar in a double boiler over hot water.  Beat until very thick and ribbons are formed. Add Grand Marnier liqueur. Remove from heat; continue beating mixture over a bowl of ice water until it is cold. 

 

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff. Fold whites into yolks. Transfer batter into prepared soufflé pan. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until puff and golden.

 

Meanwhile, make sauce by heat cream in a saucepan; then add in butter, stirring to melt. Add in Grand Marnier liqueur. Whish together and bring mixture to a boil. Add chocolate pieces, reduce heat and stir until chocolate is melted and well incorporated.

 

Serve soufflé immediately from oven with the sauce.
