Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup orange juice with pulp, all from 1 large navel orange
1/3 cup sugar, plus 3 tablespoons
5 eggs, separated
3 teaspoons grated orange zest from the navel orange
1/2 cup orange sections from a second navel orange
3 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Butter four 1 1/2-cup souffle dishes. Chill.
Pour the orange juice into a large mixing bowl. Add 1/3 cup sugar. Add the five egg yolks to the bowl along with 2 teaspoons grated orange zest. Place the egg whites and remaining sugar in a copper mixing bowl.
Whisk the yolks until lemon-colored. Whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
Blend about a quarter of the egg whites into the yolk mixture, stirring gently with a spatula. Fold in the remaining whites.
Fill the chilled souffle dishes with the mixture. Smooth the tops slightly with spatula. Bake for about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining teaspoon of orange zest, the orange sections, the marmalade and the Grand Marnier. Heat to warm.
To serve, make a hole in the middle of each souffle and pour in some of the sauce.
