Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 ml Grand Marnier
- 4 large Egg Yolks
- 100 g Granulated Sugar
- 50 ml Water
- 250 ml Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 large Egg Whites
- 20 g Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange Zest
Instructions
Prepare four ramekins by wrapping parchment paper around the outside of each ramekin, extending about 2 cm above the rim. Secure with tape or string to form a collar. This will allow the soufflé to rise above the dish.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and simmer until the syrup reaches 115°C (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
Meanwhile, in a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat the egg yolks on medium speed until pale and thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
With the mixer running on low speed, slowly drizzle the hot sugar syrup into the egg yolks. Once added, increase the speed to high and continue beating the mixture until it cools to room temperature and has a creamy, voluminous texture (approximately 6-8 minutes).
Gently stir the Grand Marnier and orange zest into the egg yolk mixture until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to medium peaks and fold it gently into the egg yolk mixture.
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks are formed.
Gently fold the whisked egg whites into the Grand Marnier mixture in three additions, ensuring the mixture remains light and airy.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them slightly above the rim. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Place the soufflés in the freezer to set for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Before serving, carefully remove the parchment paper collars. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or orange zest, if desired. Serve immediately.
