Grand Marnier Soufflé

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grand Marnier Soufflé.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take two 8-ounce ramekins and give them a loving brush with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.

3. Step 3

   Then, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar inside each ramekin to create a delightful sweet crust.

4. Step 4

   For easy cleanup, place the ramekins on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

5. Step 5

   Next, grab a saucepan and melt 5 teaspoons of butter over medium-low heat.

6. Step 6

   Once it’s melted, stir in some flour and let it cook for about 2 minutes until it turns a lovely golden brown and fills your kitchen with a warm, nutty aroma.

7. Step 7

   Slowly pour in cold milk while stirring continuously, and watch as the mixture transforms into a smooth, thick sauce in about 3 to 4 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Once it’s ready, transfer this creamy goodness to a large bowl.

9. Step 9

   Now, let’s add some flavor! Stir in a splash of Grand Marnier and the zest of an orange for a refreshing twist.

10. Step 10

    Then, mix in the egg yolks and a dash of vanilla extract until everything is beautifully combined.

11. Step 11

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become frothy.

12. Step 12

    Gradually sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of sugar, whisking until it’s well blended.

13. Step 13

    Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and keep whisking until the meringue is thick and holds its shape, but isn’t too stiff—think of it as a fluffy cloud! Gently fold half of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture, being careful not to deflate it.

14. Step 14

    Once that’s combined, fold in the rest of the meringue until everything is harmoniously mixed.

15. Step 15

    Now, it’s time to fill those prepared ramekins! Spoon the soufflé mixture in, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top for them to rise.

16. Step 16

    Pop the baking sheet with the ramekins into your preheated oven and bake for about 16 minutes.

17. Step 17

    Keep an eye on them as they puff up and turn a beautiful golden brown.

18. Step 18

    The anticipation will be worth it when you pull out these airy, delicious soufflés that are sure to impress! Enjoy your delightful creation!.
