GRAND MARNIER FLAN
This glorious Grand Marnier flan is so smooth, so creamy and not "eggy" at all. It's a delicate custard with just a hint of orange essence, complementing its dreamy, caramel goodness.You'll require a deep baking pan, 6 ramekins, a dish towel, a mesh strainer, a medium-size pot and a small sauce pan. Preferably, you'll want to use a white sauce pan so you can see the color changes of your caramel easily.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 320
- Create your "bain marie." Lay your dish towel into the bottom of your pan, and place your ramekins on top. Fill the pan with water about half-way up the ramekins. The towel will prevent them from sloshing around in the water. Set aside.
- Combine 3½ tbsp. of water and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan to make your caramel. This process will take about 10 minutes. Heat over a medium flame and let it start to bubble. Resist every urge to stir it. (I have a hard time with this. I just want to stir it so much, but it doesn't help).
- After about 6-7 minutes, the color of your caramel will appear to have a golden blonde color. This is when you want to add your Grand Marnier. Pour quickly, pick up the sauce pan and swirl the pan fast. You want it to steam off a bit. Swirl for about 15 seconds, and return the pan to the flame.
- Watch the color of the caramel closely. When it appears to be darkening to a deep cherry brown, quickly lift the pan and swirl again. The sugar will continue to cook in the pan even when it's not over the flame and burns quickly if it's left too long.
- Once your caramel is the color of a warm mahogany, pour it into your ramekins.
- Pour your whole milk and vanilla extract into your pot and heat to almost boiling. Stirring occasionally.
- Whisk 3 eggs into a measuring cup or bowl with 6 tbsp. of sugar. Pour the sugar/egg mixture through a mesh strainer to strain out any extra eggy bits, and return to your cup or bowl.
- Slowly (very slowly) pour your sugar/egg mixture into your milk while constantly stirring with your other hand - otherwise the eggs will simply become a scrambled egg mixture in the milk.
- To ensure your flan is extra smooth, strain the entire custard mixture through your mesh strainer and then pour into your ramekins evenly. Place on the bottom rack, and bake for 45 minutes to an hour.
- You'll know your flan is done when the edges become golden.
- Very carefully remove the pan and ramekins once done. Refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.

CARAMEL SAUCE WITH GRAND MARNIER, FLAN STYLE RECIPE - (3.8/5)
Provided by Foodiewife

Steps:
- Equipment needed: Heavy skillet or a thick bottomed pan Whisk NOTE: Be sure to have all of your ingredients ready before First, before you begin, make sure you have everything ready to go - the water and the alcohol (if using) next to the pan, ready to put in. Making caramel is a fast process that cannot wait for hunting around for ingredients. If you don't work fast, the sugar will burn. Safety first - make sure there are no children under foot and you may want to wear oven mitts; the caramelized sugar will be much hotter than boiling water. In a heavy skillet, and place over medium-high heat, spread the sugar evenly. As the sugar begins to melt, stir vigorously with a whisk or wooden spoon. As soon as the sugar comes to a boil, stop stirring. You can swirl the pan a bit if you want, from this point on. Note that this recipe works best if you are using a thick-bottomed pan. The sugar should turn to a dark amber--about 2-3 minutes. Very carefully, stir in 1/2 cup warm water (I used 1/4 cup water and 3 Tbsp. of Grand Marnier) and bourbon. It will bubble, but don't panic! Stir until combined, and remove from heat to cool to room temperature. The sauce will be a very thin consistency. This is perfect for serving with a panna cota. If you refrigerate this sauce, it will thicken and is perfect for flavoring a vanilla butter cream or looks very pretty drizzled over a piece of cheesecake, ice cream or frosted cupcakes.

CHOCOLATE GRAND MARNIER SOUFFLES WITH BLACK WALNUT CARAMEL SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brush the inside of 6 (10-ounce) ramekins with melted butter. Put a few tablespoons of sugar in a ramekin, and roll to coat the inside with sugar. Pour the sugar in the next ramekin and continue to coat the remaining ramekins in the same manner, adding more sugar, if necessary.
- Melt the chocolate and butter over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool the mixture until it is just warm to the touch.
- In an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks until light and foamy. Mix in the liqueur and vanilla. Fold in the chocolate mixture.
- In a clean mixer bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar to soft peaks. With the mixer running, add the sugar and beat to stiff peaks.
- In 3 additions, fold the whites into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Fill the ramekins with the mixture. Bake until the souffles have risen and the tops and edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and immediately sift confectioners' sugar over the tops. Place on a plate and serve immediately. At the table, poke a hole in the center of the souffle with a spoon and pour in Black Walnut Caramel Sauce.
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, cook until the caramel is beginning to turn brown. Carefully swirl the pan until the caramel turns a deep brown.
- Immediately add the walnuts and cream, being careful not to let the cream boil over.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer. With a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pan until all caramel is dissolved and sauce is smooth. Remove from the heat. Add vanilla and butter. Stir until the butter is completely dissolved.
CARAMEL SAUCE
Steps:
- Mix the water and sugar in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sugar dissolves. Do not stir. Increase the heat to medium and boil uncovered until the sugar turns a warm chestnut brown (about 350 degrees F on a candy thermometer), about 5 to 7 minutes, gently swirling the pan to stir the mixture. Be careful - the mixture is extremely hot! Watch the mixture very carefully at the end, as it will go from caramel to burnt very quickly. Turn off the heat. Stand back to avoid splattering and slowly add the cream and vanilla. Don't worry - the cream will bubble violently and the caramel will solidify.
- Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, at least 4 hours. It will thicken as it sits.

CHOCOLATE BANANA FRIED WONTONS WITH GRAND MARNIER® CARAMEL SAUCE
I tried banana wontons at a Chinese restaurant and liked them, so i thought i'd make up a recipe at home when I was making an Asian-themed dinner. My boyfriend said they were better than the restaurant's! They're great with ice cream. Substitute any kind of liqueur you want for the Grand Marnier® - be creative! many different fruit flavors seem to go well with this dessert.

Steps:
- Place the bananas, 1/3 cup chocolate chips, clove, cinnamon, and vanilla into a mixing bowl, and mash until evenly blended. Alternatively, chop the mixture in a food processor until the chocolate chips have been reduced in size. This will help prevent the chips from poking through the wonton skins as you handle them. It will also change the texture of the filling - you will not have pockets of melted chocolate in the wontons.
- To make the wontons: Separate and place the wonton wrappers onto your work surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the banana filling onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with water. Fold one corner of the wrapper over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Prepare the sauce by combining the butter, brown sugar, orange liqueur, and corn syrup in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is smooth, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Fry the wontons in the hot oil a few at a time until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn the wontons over halfway through cooking so they brown evenly. Remove, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm with the caramel sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips to garnish.
