Steps:

• Combine the eggs and granulated sugar in the top of a stainless steel double boiler and, being careful not to scramble the eggs, whisk over gentle heat until the mixture is golden in color and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon in ribbons. Remove from the heat and set the mixture aside to cool.
• While the egg mixture is cooling, prepare four 1/2 cup souffle dishes by cutting waxed paper long enough to encircle each souffle dish twice, and stand 3 to 4 inches above its top. Wrap the waxed paper snugly around the outside of the dish and seal the edges with transparent tape. Butter the inside of the dish with softened butter, then sprinkle with granulated sugar, tapping out any excess sugar onto a plate.
• Using an electric mixer, combine 1 cup of the heavy cream, confectioners sugar, and Grand Marnier, orange zest and whip into firm peaks. With a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture into the buttered souffle dishes, filling them above the rim and into the area enclosed by the waxed paper.
• Place the souffles into the freezer, for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. When ready to serve, whip the remaining cream until soft peaks form, remove from the frozen souffle from the freezer, and carefully remove the waxed paper collar. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and several orange segments.

FROZEN GRAND MARNIER MOUSSE

Steps:

• Chill a 1-quart souffle mold in the freezer while you prepare the mousse; also refrigerate a 1 1/2 quart bowl for the whipped cream.
• Line up the ladyfingers in a single layer in a baking dish, top side up, and slowly drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the Grand Marnier.
• Warm the yolks in a 3-cup bowl set in hot tap water.
• Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan on high-medium heat, whisking until the sugar is completely dissolved, and boil 2 minutes. For the same 2 minutes, beat the yolks and orange rind with an electric hand mixer until pale and thick. When the syrup is ready, pour it into the yolks, beating constantly, and continue beating on medium to high speed for 6 minutes, until the mousse base is thick, white, and cool.
• Combine the cream and the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons Grand Marnier in the chilled bowl and beat to medium-firm peaks. Scoop in the mousse base and fold together completely with a rubber spatula.
• Layer a third of the mixture in the chilled mold and top with half the soaked ladyfingers; repeat with a second layer, and finish with the remaining mousse mixture.
• Cover with plastic and freeze well, at least 6 hours. Serve on chilled plates.
• For a pseudo-souffle effect, use a 3-cup mold with a paper collar; at serving time, remove the collar and sift cocoa over the top to simulate oven browning.

FROZEN GRAND MARNIER SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Put the egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until mixture is almost white and very fluffy, 3-5 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup heavy cream to boil.
• Beating the egg yolk mixture continuously on low speed, pour in the hot cream in a thin stream until fully incorporated.
• Briefly heat 2 tbsp grand marnier.
• In another bowl, using clean beaters, whip the remaining cream at medium speed until it is firm enough to form stiff peaks that hold their shape when the beaters are lifted out.
• Briefly beat in 2 tbsp more of the grand marnier.
• Put the ladyfingers in a shallow bowl and drizzle them with the remaining grand marnier, leaving them to soak for several minutes.
• With a rubber spatula, stir about a third of the whipped cream into the egg yolk mixture.
• If you want to make the dessert look like a souffle, take a length of parchment paper, waxed paper, or aluminum paper about 2 inches longer than the circumference of a 1-quart souffle dish.
• Fold the paper lengthwise in half and wrap it around the rim, rising about 3 inches above the rim, using freezer proof tape to tape it securely in place.
• Spoon one-third of the mixture into the souffle dish (or loaf pan).
• Arrange three of the ladyfingers evenly on top.
• Top with another one-third of the mixture, then the remaining ladyfingers, and finally the remaining souffle mixture.
• Put the dish or pan in the freezer and freeze for several hours, until the souffle is firm.
• Remove from the freezer about 20 minutes before serving, to soften slightly at room temperature.
• To serve, dip a serrated knife in hot water.
• If using a souffle dish, remove the paper collar and cut horizontally even with the rim to free the top portion of the souffle and then cut it into wedges; continue serving the portion inside the dish by cutting wedges and carefully lifting them out with a cake slicer.
• To serve from the loaf pan, dip the pan briefly in hot water, then unmold onto a platter and cut into slices.
• Serve on chilled dessert plates, garnished if you like with candied orange peel and fresh berries.
