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.

GRAND MARNIER SOUFFLé

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.
• Remove the souffle from the oven, discard the paper collar, dust with powdered sugar, and serve immediately.

SOUFFLE AU CHOCOLAT ET AU GRAND MARNIER

Steps:

• Coat a large straight sided porcelain baking dish or souffle mold (about 8-inches diameter and 4- deep) with the softened butter. Alternatively, you can use eight individual straightsided porcelain ramekins. Coat evenly and generously all the way to the top, making sure to get the corners. Sprinkle in some sugar and toss around to coat the bottom and sides of the mold or molds. Place molds in the refrigerator to chill (if using individual molds, place them on a cookie sheet first.)
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Find a medium metal bowl that completely covers the top of a small saucepan. Place 3 inches of water in the saucepan and bring to the simmer. Turn off the heat. Place cut up butter and chocolate in the bowl and place bowl over pan of hot water. Let sit for 2 minutes then stir. It should be completely melted; if not, remove the bowl, bring the water back to a simmer, turn off the heat and replace the bowl. Stir until smooth. Stir in the Grand Marnier. Set aside to let cool to room temperature. Place egg yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whip. Beat egg yolks at medium speed until opaque and lightened in color, about 3 minutes. Add to cooled chocolate mixture.
• Bring medium pot of water to a boil. Clean mixer bowl and whip well, and dry them. Place egg whites in bowl and whip at high speed 2 minutes, then reduce speed to medium and add the cream of tartar. Whip until soft peaks form then slowly add the granulated sugar down the side of the bowl while continuing to whip until firm peaks form. Take 1/3 of the whites and whisk into chocolate mixture to lighten it. Fold in remaining whites with a large rubber spatula, trying not to deflate the whites. Fold gently but thoroughly until no white streaks remain. Remove coated molds from the refrigerator. Fill mold or molds with souffle mixture, up to 1/2-inch from rim. Run your thumb around the inside of each mold to form a shallow groove all around. When all molds have been filled transfer to the oven and bake until risen and top is evenly dried, about 10 minutes for individual soufflJs and about 25 minutes for a large. Serve immediately.
• Classic souffle technique: egg yolks combined with flavoring base, lightened with whipped egg whites and baked until risen. Very important that all equipment used for beating whites be scrupulously clean. Running thumb around mold encourages an even rise.

SOUFFLE AU GRAND MARNIER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425º. Move an oven rack to the lower third of the oven.
• Coat the inside of an 8-cup souffle dish with 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and roll it around the inside of the dish to coat. Discard the remaining sugar and set the dish aside.
• In a small saucepan, heat the milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and the orange zest until the mixture steams. Remove from heat and set aside.
• While the milk is warming up, heat a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Let the butter melt, then add the flour and salt and cook, stirring, until the mixture is foamy, about 2 minutes. With the saucepan still over the heat, whisk the flour mixture and add the hot milk all at once. Whisk until the mixture becomes thick and velvety, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. This is the base for your souffle.
• Whisk the egg yolks, one at a time, into the souffle base. Add the Grand Marnier and set aside.
• Using a mixer set on medium speed, beat the 7 egg whites until they are foamy. Turn the speed to high. When the whites form soft peaks, add the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar slowly. Continue to beat on high speed for 1 minute. The whites should become glossy and firm.
• To assemble the souffle, add one-fourth of the egg whites to the souffle base. using a large flat spatula, gently turn and fold the souffle base up and over the top of the egg whites to lighten the mixture. Add half the remaining egg whites and fold, leaving some streaks of white. Then add the remaining egg whites and gently fold them in completely. Be careful not to overmix or the whites will deflate, leaving you with an under-risen souffle. The secret to success here is in folding until each addition of egg whites is almost incorporated, then adding the next batch and so on until all the whites are incorporated.
• Gently transfer the souffle batter into the prepared dish and flatten the top with a spatula. Run a finger or spoon around the edge of the souffle, leaving a trough about 1/2-inch deep. This will allow the souffle to rise even higher.
• Put the souffle in the oven and immediately turn the heat down to 375º. Bake for 20 minutes, then pull out the oven rack, and carefully dust the souffle with the confectioner's sugar. Gently push the rack back into the oven and close the door. (Don't over worry about a stray noise or bump affecting your souffle. They are much hardier than you think.) Check the souflle after 15 minutes and gently jiggle it. If it moves slightly in the center the souffle is done. If it is loose on the edges, bake for another 5 minutes. It should be brown and crusty on top.
• Remove the souffle from the oven and serve immediately.
