White Chocolate-Grand Marnier Mousse in Chocolate-Pistachio Tuile Cups
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup Grand Marnier
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 2 cups unsweetened whipped cream
- 1/2 cup melted white chocolate
- Chocolate-Pistachio Tuile Cups, recipe follows
- 2 large egg whites
- 4 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 4 teaspoons crushed pistachios
- In a stainless steel bowl set over a saucepan of boiling water, combine the egg yolks, Grand Marnier, sugar, and orange zest, and whisk to incorporate.
- Whisking constantly and removing from the heat from time to time, cook until the mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon into a sabayon, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and cool.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cooled sabayon, then fold in the melted chocolate.
- Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 6 hours.
- Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
- To serve, place 1 tuile cup in the center of 8 dessert plates.
- Pipe (or alternately spoon) 1/4 cup of the mousse into the cups and garnish with the mint sprigs and powdered sugar.
- Serve.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Invert 8 shot glasses or tea cups on the counter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sugar, and pistachios until just combined.
- Add the butter and vanilla, and whisk.
- Add the flour and cocoa powder, and whisk.
- Drop the batter by 1 1/2 tablespoonfuls onto the baking sheet, about 4 inches apart.
- Using a small spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the batter out to form a thin 4 1/2 -inch circle (the batter needs to be a thin, even coat because the cookies will not spread when cooked).
- Bake for 12 to 13 minutes, or until a deep brown.
- Remove from the oven.
- With a thin spatula, quickly remove the cookies 1 at a time from the baking sheet and drape on top of a ramekin to create a cup shape.
- (If the cookies become too brittle, replace on the baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 seconds to soften.)
- Cool completely on the glasses, then gently lift off and transfer to a platter until ready to use.
- Yield: 8 cookies
