Yield About six cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup, plus 6 tablespoons, sugar
1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons, cold water
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 eggs, separated
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Combine one-half cup of sugar, one-half cup of the cold water and the orange rind in a saucepan and bring to the simmer. Add the gelatin and stir to dissolve.
  • Add the orange juice and bring to the simmer.
  • Combine the cornstarch and the remaining two tablespoons of water and stir the mixture into the simmering liquid.
  • Pour and scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl and cool briefly.
  • Put the egg yolks in a separate bowl and add about one-quarter cup of the hot liquid to the yolks. Beat briskly and pour and scrape this mixture into the same mixing bowl, beating with a wire whisk. Beat in the Grand Marnier. Set aside until cool.
  • Put the egg whites in one large bowl and the cream in another.
  • Beat the whites until they are almost stiff and add three tablespoons of sugar. Continue beating until they are stiff.
  • Beat the cream until it is almost stiff and add the remaining sugar. Continue beating until it is stiff.
  • Add half of the whites to the egg- yolk sauce and beat them in. Add the remaining whites, folding them in gently. Fold in the cream. Chill until it is set.
