Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 9 eggs, including the yolk
  • 250 ml milk
  • 500 ml cream
  • 150 g sugar
  • 1 cl Grand Marnier
  • ½ orange(s), untreated, zest
  • 25 g cane sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Rest time approx. 3 hours; Total time approx. 3 hours 10 minutes

Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until smooth. Heat the milk and cream together with the orange zest and let it steep, then strain through a fine sieve. Add to the egg mixture and stir in the Grand Marnier. Skim off the foam that forms, fill into molds, and cook in a water bath in the oven at 120-140°C for approximately 2.5-3 hours. Chill. Before serving, sprinkle the brown sugar over the cream. Slowly melt it with a flame (gas torch). Be patient; don’t get the flame too close to the sugar, or it might burn.
