Grand Marnier Creme Brulee Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the egg, egg yolks, and 1/2 cup of the sugar together on low speed until just combined. Meanwhile, scald the cream in a small saucepan until it's very hot to the touch but not boiled. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the cream to the eggs. Add the vanilla and orange liqueur and pour into 6 to 8-ounce ramekins until almost full.
• Place the ramekins in a baking pan and carefully pour boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the custards are set when gently shaken. Remove the custards from the water bath, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate until firm.
• To serve, spread 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly on the top of each ramekin and heat with a kitchen blowtorch until the sugar carmelizes evenly. Allow to sit at room temperature for a minute until the caramelized sugar hardens.

Steps:

• Combine egg yolks with sugar, Grand Marnier and vanilla.
• Heat cream to boiling. Temper egg mixture with cream - add slowly, stirring constantly. Do not create foam. Use a wooden spoon.
• Pour into individual ramekins.
• Put a towel in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the ramekins on the towels and then add hot water about half way up the sides of the ramekins.
• Loosely cover pan with foil.
• Bake in a water bath in a 300 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until just set. (ovens vary so check for it to be just set) Do not overcook.
• Remove from oven and water bath and chill until ready to serve.
• Just before serving, sprinkle sugar over the tops of the creme brulee and caramelize with a torch of under a broiler.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Combine the eggs, egg yolk, and sugar and whisk well. Add the vanilla and orange zest. In a small saucepot, scald the heavy cream and Grand Marnier. Remove and slowly add 1/3 of scalded cream mixture into the egg mixture (temper the custard). Return the egg mixture to the cream and combine. Chill for 10 to 15 minutes. Set up a water bath for the brulee dishes and place the brulee dishes into the bath, making sure the water comes 1/2 way up the side of the dish. Pour the brulee mix into the dish and bake in the oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until the custard is set. Refrigerate until ready for service. Place a light coating of sugar on top of each brulee and caramelize the sugar with either a torch or a broiler. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan melt butter with butter with brown sugar and corn syrup over moderate heat, stirring, until smooth and pour into a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Cut 6 (1-inch) thick slices from center portion of bread, reserving ends for another use, and trim crusts. Arrange bread slices in one layer in baking dish, squeezing them slightly to fit. In a bowl whisk together eggs, half and half, vanilla, Grand Marnier and salt until combined well and pour evenly over bread. Chill bread mixture, covered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and bring bread mixture to room temperature. Bake uncovered, in middle of oven until puffed and edges are pale golden, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Whisk egg yolks and 7 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl until thick and pale yellow, about 2 minutes.
• Bring cream to a simmer in heavy small saucepan.
• Gradually whisk hot cream into yolk mixture.
• Whisk in Grand Marnier and vanilla; divide custard among six 3/4-cup custard cups.
• Arrange cups in 13x9x2-inch metal pan. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of cups.
• Bake custards until gently set in center, about 25 minutes.
• Remove cups from water and refrigerate uncovered until cold, at least 3 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.)
• Preheat broiler. Place custards on baking sheet. Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar onto each. Broil until sugar starts to bubble and color, turning sheet often to prevent burning, about 2 minutes. Chill until topping is hard and brittle, at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk 3 tablespoons sugar and cream in a microwave-safe bowl until well combined; heat the mixture in microwave until warm, 1 to 2 minutes, and whisk again to dissolve sugar. Whisk in egg yolks and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Pour cream mixture into 2 ramekins. Set ramekins into a roasting pan and pour in enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
• Bake in the preheated oven until creme desserts are set but still slightly jiggly when shaken, about 50 minutes. Remove ramekins from hot water and chill in refrigerator until cold, at least 2 hours.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the top of each dessert. Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast and melt the sugar topping until brown and bubbly, about 30 seconds. Let the sugar topping cool before serving. To serve, use a spoon to crack the crisp sugar open to reveal the creamy dessert underneath.

Steps:

• Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into cream in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, then add pod and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Remove from heat, then steep, covered, 20 minutes.
• Discard pod.
• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Whisk together yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt, then add hot cream in a slow stream, whisking constantly. Pour through a fine sieve into glass loaf pan. Cover pan with foil and bake custard in a hot water bath until set but with center still slightly wobbly, about 1 hour.
• Remove foil and cool custard in pan on a rack, then chill, covered, until firm, at least 4 hours.
• Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into juice in cleaned 2-quart heavy saucepan, then add pod and sugar. Bring to a boil over moderately high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil until reduced to about 1 1/4 cups, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, then discard pod and stir in Grand Marnier. Cool to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Chop enough pistachios to measure 2 tablespoons. Pulse remaining nuts with regular granulated sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add flour and salt and pulse to combine. Add milk, butter, and eggs and blend until just combined. Pour batter into well-buttered popover cups, filling them two-thirds full.
• Bake in lower third of oven until popovers are puffed and well browned, about 40 minutes. Cut a 1/2-inch slit in top of each popover and bake 10 minutes more. Immediately turn popovers out onto rack to cool.
• Cut off tops of cooled popovers and arrange in a baking dish. Brush tops with some syrup and heat in oven until warm, about 3 minutes.
• While tops are heating, fill bottoms of popovers with custard. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon superfine sugar evenly over each custard, then move blowtorch flame evenly back and forth just over sugar until sugar is melted and caramelized.
• Transfer popovers with tops to plates and spoon some syrup around each. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 300 degrees.
• Whisk yolks and sugar until thick and pale yellow. Set aside.
• In saucepan, heat cream. Temper into yolks. Simmer on low, stirring constantly until thickened and coats spoon. Do not over heat.(170 degrees).
• Remove from heat and whisk in Grand Marnier and vanilla.
• Pour mixture into individual ramekins.
• Place ramekins in large baking dish. Pour water around ramekins until half way up sides.
• Bake 300 for 45 minutes.
• Remove ramekins from water bath and chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
• To serve: Sprinkle with brown sugar. Place under broiler until sugar starts to bubble and color.

Steps:

• Finely grate the orange zest and let it macerate in the Grand Marnier for an hour. Bring the milk and cream to a boil. Add the vanilla bean, the Grand Marnier-macerated orange zest mixture, and the sugar and let infuse for an hour. Strain to remove the vanilla bean and the orange zest. Add the egg yolks, mixing gently so that the mixture does not froth. Pour into ramekins and cook in the oven following two possible methods: At 230 F in a traditional oven (heated from both top and bottom) in a double boiler for approximately 50 minutes; or at 175 F in a convection or forced convection oven without the double boiler (more difficult) for approximately 30 minutes. The creme brulee is cooked when it is set in the middle and "trembles" when the ramekin is tapped. Remove the crèmes brulees from the oven and allow to cool. Place them in the refrigerator. Just before serving, sprinkle with a thin layer of brown sugar and caramelize with a blowtorch or under the broiler (more difficult). If the custard cooks too quickly it will be slightly granular, not creamy as it should be. If moisture has formed on the surface of the creme brulee when it is taken from the refrigerator, soak it up with some paper towels before sprinkling with sugar.
