How to Make Snow Pudding With Grand Marnier Sauce

  1. **Make the Pudding:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin. Add 1/2 cup boiling water and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (or orange juice), stirring until the sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved.
  2. Refrigerate the mixture until it mounds slightly when spooned, stirring frequently (about 1-2 hours).
  3. Add 2 large egg whites to the gelatin mixture. Beat with an electric mixer until the volume doubles and the mixture forms soft peaks.
  4. Gently fold in 1 tablespoon of finely grated lemon zest (or orange zest).
  5. Spoon the pudding into individual goblets or serving glasses.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 2 days.
  7. **Make the Sauce:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until well blended.
  8. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup whole milk to a simmer over medium heat.
  9. Gradually whisk the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture.
  10. Return the mixture to the saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 2-3 minutes). Do not boil.
  11. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier (or orange liqueur) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  12. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
  13. Refrigerate the sauce until completely chilled.
  14. **To Serve:** Whip 1/4 cup heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the chilled sauce.
  15. Spoon the sauce over the chilled puddings. Garnish with fresh raspberries and/or candied violets, if desired.
