Steps:

• For the soufflé base: In a small saucepan, combine the flour and sugar. In another small pan, bring the milk to a simmer. Slowly add the hot milk to the flour mixture, whisking until smooth. Place over medium heat and stir until the mixture simmers and thickens. Stir in the butter, then the egg yolks, one at a time, then the Grand Marnier. Remove from heat and stir in almonds or candied orange or ginger, if using. Allow to cool.
• For finishing: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Butter the interiors and outer rims of four 8-ounce soufflé dishes. Generously sprinkle the buttered areas with sugar, tapping out any excess. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites to soft peaks, then gradually beat in the sugar. Continue to beat just until the whites are stiff but not dry; do not overbeat. Fold a large spoonful of the beaten whites into the soufflé base, then fold the base into the remaining whites just until blended.
• Divide the mixture among the prepared dishes, filling to about 1/4 inch from the top. Run a knife around the inside edge of each dish to about halfway down to release the batter from the side of the dish.
• Place the dishes in a small baking pan, and add enough hot water to the pan to come about 1/4 inch up the side of the dishes. Bake until the soufflés are well risen and lightly browned, about 13 minutes. Serve immediately.

FROZEN GRAND MARNIER SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Combine the eggs and granulated sugar in the top of a stainless steel double boiler and, being careful not to scramble the eggs, whisk over gentle heat until the mixture is golden in color and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon in ribbons. Remove from the heat and set the mixture aside to cool.
• While the egg mixture is cooling, prepare four 1/2 cup souffle dishes by cutting waxed paper long enough to encircle each souffle dish twice, and stand 3 to 4 inches above its top. Wrap the waxed paper snugly around the outside of the dish and seal the edges with transparent tape. Butter the inside of the dish with softened butter, then sprinkle with granulated sugar, tapping out any excess sugar onto a plate.
• Using an electric mixer, combine 1 cup of the heavy cream, confectioners sugar, and Grand Marnier, orange zest and whip into firm peaks. With a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture into the buttered souffle dishes, filling them above the rim and into the area enclosed by the waxed paper.
• Place the souffles into the freezer, for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. When ready to serve, whip the remaining cream until soft peaks form, remove from the frozen souffle from the freezer, and carefully remove the waxed paper collar. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and several orange segments.

Steps:

• Set an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 4-cup souffle dish (the souffle won't rise as tall if using a larger dish) with 1 tbsp of the butter and dust it with granulated sugar, tapping out any excess. Prepare a collar for the souffle dish by buttering one side of a long 4-inch-wide strip of parchment paper with 1 tbsp butter, then dust it with some granulated sugar. Wrap the prepared side of the parchment paper around the outside of the souffle dish and tie it in place with kitchen string. It should rise above the rim of the dish by about 3 inches. Set the dish aside.
• In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, mix the orange rind with 7 tbsp of the granulated sugar, off the heat. Stir in the flour. Add the milk, stirring until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, and cook until thick, about a minute.
• Continue to cook over medium heat until the mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat.
• In a standing mixer fitted with a balloon whisk attachment, whip the egg whites and pinch of salt on low speed, to form small bubbles. Gradually increase to medium speed, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Increase to high speed and whip until stiff, but not dry, peaks form.To the flour mixture, whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
• Add the egg yolk mixture to a large mixing bowl, and whisk in the Grand Marnier, vanilla extract, and remaining 2 tbsp butter until smooth.Gently fold together the egg whites and yolk base, adding a third at a time, until all is incorporated.Pour the batter into the prepared dish, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Wrap a parchment paper or aluminum foil collar around the outside of the individual ramekins; the collar should be about 1 inch above the top of the dish. Secure each collar with a small amount of butter. Place ramekins in the fridge to cool.

(Do not overcook the sugar.) Meanwhile, place the yolks into the bowl of an electric mixer and turn to high speed. Slowly add a little of the hot sugar syrup. Decrease speed to medium and add the remaining syrup in a slow, steady stream (see Cook's Note***). Continue to whip for about 5 to 8 minutes, until the mixture is thick and cool. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Whisk in the orange-flavored liqueur and orange zest (see Cook's Note****). Mix in 1/4 of the whipped cream until well incorporated, then fold in the remainder.
• Spoon into the ramekins and fill about 1/2-inch above the ramekin. Freeze until set, about 2 hours. Remove the collars and serve.
