Elegant Grand Marnier Soufflé: A Show-Stopping French Dessert

🍴 Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • Unsalted butter, for greasing ramekins
  • Granulated sugar, for coating ramekins
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for roux)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for custard base)
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 4 large egg whites
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for egg whites)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

🔥 Instructions

Prep the Ramekins:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously butter 4 small ramekins and coat with sugar, tapping out the excess. Place them on a baking sheet.

Make the Custard Base:
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a roux, then whisk in the milk gradually until smooth. Cook for 1–2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.

Add Flavor:
Stir in 3 tablespoons of sugar, egg yolks, Grand Marnier, and orange zest into the roux. Set aside to cool slightly.

Whip the Egg Whites:
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2 tablespoons sugar and continue to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Fold and Fill:
Gently fold the egg whites into the custard base in batches, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Divide evenly among the ramekins and level the tops with a spatula.

Bake to Perfection:
Bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed and golden on top. Do not open the oven door during baking!

Serve Immediately:
Dust with powdered sugar and serve right away to enjoy the soufflé at its peak height and texture.
