Snow Pudding With Grand Marnier Sauce
2
People talking
A simple desert which uses on-hand ingredients and makes good use of leftover egg yolks which looks fancy enough for company or for an everyday desert with family. For family, kids like this when orange juice/orange peel and orange juice is substituted for the lemon juice, lemon rind and Grand Marnier. Refrigeration time (minimum) is included in prep time (3 hours) but can be refrigerated up to two days ahead. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (June 1985)

This pudding is very light and fluffy, with a subtle taste of lemon. I was a little leary of the raw egg white in the pudding itself. I had trouble with the sauce, in that, when chilled, it came out more of a spread rather than a sauce. I don't know what I did wrong. If I made it again, I would try another sauce, maybe lemon this time. But all in all, it was a fun recipe to make and very tasty. Thanks, Ellie.1Reply
