How to Make A Little Piece Of Heaven On A Plate

  1. Preheat oven to the temperature specified on your cookie dough package.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, creating 2 separate mounds (adjust amount for desired serving size).
  4. Bake cookies according to package directions.
  5. While cookies are baking, prepare the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1 ounce of Grand Marnier and 1/4 cup of caramel sauce.
  6. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is warm and well combined (about 2-3 minutes).
  7. With 2-3 minutes remaining in the cookie baking time, spread pecans evenly on a separate baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven until fragrant and lightly browned.
  8. Once cookies are baked and slightly cooled, place one cookie on each dessert plate.
  9. Top each cookie with one scoop of ice cream.
  10. Spoon the warm Grand Marnier caramel sauce generously over the ice cream.
  11. Sprinkle toasted pecans over the entire dessert.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
