Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Unflavored gelatin
- 0.5 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for sauce)
- 0.25 cup Fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- 2 large Egg yolks
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
Add the boiling water to the bloomed gelatin and stir until completely dissolved.
Stir in the sugar, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled gelatin mixture into the beaten egg whites, being careful not to deflate them. Pour the mixture into a serving dish or individual cups.
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
While the pudding is chilling, prepare the Grand Marnier sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the sugar and orange juice, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks together. Gradually add a spoonful of the warm orange juice mixture into the yolks to temper them. Slowly pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan, whisking constantly.
Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil. Remove from heat and stir in the Grand Marnier.
Transfer the sauce to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
To serve, spoon the chilled snow pudding onto plates or bowls. Drizzle with the Grand Marnier sauce and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
