Frozen Grand Marnier Souffles
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 6 large egg yolks
- 3/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 5 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
- 4 large egg whites*
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- Thin strips orange zest, for garnish
- Lightly butter 6 (4-ounce) souffle dishes and dust with 1 tablespoon of the sugar, knocking out any excess.
- Make collars from aluminum foil strips or pieces of parchment paper and wrap around the dishes so that the upper edges are 1-inch above the tops.
- Secure with string and set aside.
- In a medium heatproof bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/4 cup of the remaining sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the orange zest.
- Whisk in the Grand Marnier and place the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thick and light in color like whipped cream, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until foamy.
- Beating, gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until glossy peaks are formed.
- Set aside.
- In a third bowl, beat the cream until it forms soft peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg yolk mixture, and then fold in the meringue.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared souffle dishes, leveling off the tops.
- Freeze until the souffles are set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve, remove the foil collars from the dishes and place each on a dessert plate.
- Garnish each portion with orange zest strips and serve cold.
