Q: What to make w/Grand Marnier?
On 29 Nov 2003 19:40:26 -0800, (Evil) arranged
random neurons, so they looked like this:
>My sis gave me a bottle of Grand Marnier. I used some for Tiramisu.
>I made some Crepes Suzette. What else goes well with Grand Marnier?
The following recipe doesn't use a LOT of Grand Marnier, but the
finished product is spectacular...tastes wonderful, too!
@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format
Strawberry And Grand Marnier Sabayon Trifle
desserts
8 large egg yolks
1/2 cups + 2 T. sugar; or more
pinch salt
1/2 cup Grand Marnier; or other orange liquer
1/4 cup orange juice
1 cup whipping cream; chilled
3 1 pint strawberries; hulled
2/3 12 oz. pound cake; store bought
Whisk yolks, 1/2 cup sugar and salt in medium metal bowl. Whisk in
Grand Marnier and orange juice. Set bowl over pot of simmering water
(do not let bowl touch water). Using electric mixer, beat until
mixture is thick and thermometer registers 160F, about 7 mins. Place
bowl over larger bowl filled with ice and water. Whisk until sabayon
is cool.
Beat cream in another medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold
into sabayon in 2 additions. Coarsely chop strawberries with 2
tablespoons sugar in processor. Stir in additional sugar to taste, if
desired.
Spoon 1/2 cup strawberries onto bottom of 2 1/2 qt. glass bowl. Spoon
3/4 cup sabayon evenly over. Spoon 1 cup strawberries over cake. Spoon
1 cup sabayon over strawberries. Top with remaining pound cake. Spoon
remaining strawberries over pound cake. Spread remaining sabayon
evenly over strawberries. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or
overnight.

(I wouldn't use any other berry than a strawberry, as the one time I
tried mixing in raspberries, the raspberries leaked all over the pound
cake and the leakage did *not* improve the appearance - doh!)
