How to Make Grand Marnier Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until pale and lemon-colored.
  2. In a separate medium saucepan, gently heat 1 cup whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream over medium heat until small bubbles begin to form around the edges. Do not boil.
  3. Gradually whisk the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, ensuring a smooth consistency.
  4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  6. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture (optional).
  7. Serve warm or cold, alongside your favorite soufflé or other desserts.
