ORANGE SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Butter a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish glass pie plate.
• Bring milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and zest to a boil over moderate heat in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, whisking constantly. Boil, whisking, 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in butter, juice, and liqueur until butter is melted, then whisk in yolks until blended.
• Beat whites with salt in a large bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed until they just hold soft peaks. Add remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar a little at a time, beating, then beat until whites just hold stiff peaks.
• Fold one fourth of whites into yolk mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Spread in pie plate with a rubber spatula and bake until puffed and golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Dust with confectioners sugar and serve immediately.

SOUFFLE A L'ORANGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Position a rack so the souffle will sit in the middle of the oven. Spread the 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly inside a 6-cup souffle dish (6 1/2-inches round x 3 1/2-inches high) with a paper towel. Add the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and tilt the dish to distribute the sugar evenly. Lightly tap out the excess and set aside.
• Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a 9-inch round enamel pot, such as Le Creuset, over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Whisk in the milk and 1/4 cup granulated sugar and cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Off the heat, cool for 1 minute and whisk in first the egg yolks and then the orange liqueur, vanilla, and orange zest and set aside.
• Put the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on medium-high speed until they are doubled in volume and frothy. With the mixer running, slowly add the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and beat until the egg whites form soft, very creamy (not firm!) peaks. Whisk 1/4 of the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture, then add all the egg whites and fold them carefully but thoroughly with a rubber spatula into the base.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared souffle dish, not filling it more than 1 1/4 inches from the top of the dish (there may be extra mixture). Put your finger 1 inch down into the edge of the souffle mixture and run it all the way around, making sure you don't rub off the butter and sugar inside the dish. Place in the middle of the oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 375 degrees. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the souffle is puffed and browned on top. Don't peek!!
• Sift a light dusting of the confectioners' sugar on top and serve immediately.

INDIVIDUAL ORANGE SOUFFLéS WITH GRAND MARNIER CRèME ANGLAISE

Steps:

• Prepare the crème anglaise in advance. It can be stored for several days in the refrigerator. Place the milk, cream, and agave nectar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Decrease the heat.
• Add the arrowroot powder slurry to the milk mixture, whisking constantly. Bring the mixture back to a simmer and remove from the heat immediately after the mixture thickens. Stir in the Grand Marnier and vanilla extract. Cool to room temperature and store in the refrigerator.
• Begin preparing the soufflés. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly oil 6 (12-ounce) soufflé ramekins with canola oil spray.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and salt. Add the milk and cook until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Stir in the orange zest, orange juice, and Grand Marnier. Blend well.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks until thick and lemon colored. Gradually add the orange mixture and blend well.
• In a clean bowl, using clean beaters, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually drizzle in the agave nectar and beat until stiff glossy peaks form, another 1 to 2 minutes. Do not overbeat or the egg whites will dry. Fold the orange mixture into the egg whites. Spoon into the ramekins and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and golden. Serve immediately.
• Place a hot soufflé on a plate in front of each guest. Poke a hole in the center of the soufflé with a spoon and spread slightly open. Pour the crème anglaise generously into the opening of the soufflé and over the top. A dollop of whipped cream makes a nice finishing touch.

NEIMAN MARCUS' MANDARIN ORANGE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Pour 1/4 cup of the orange juice into a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over, and stir to dissolve.
• Seat aside to let the gelatin soften.
• Prepare and ice bath in a large bowl.
• Pour the remaining orange juice into a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir in the sugar and egg yolks.
• Over medium heat, gradually bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to steam and is slightly thickened. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
• Add the softened gelatin mixture (which will have a rubbery texture) and the lemon juice.
• Stir until incorporated and then transfer the "custard" to a clean mixing bowl; sit the bowl in the ice bath to cool.
• While the custard is cooking, stir it occasionally.
• Using a wire whisk or an electric whisk, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
• With a spatula, gently fold some of the whipped cream into the cooled custard mixture to "loosen" it, then add the rest of the cream mixture and fold in until fully incorporated.
• Place three or four of the mandarin orange sections in the bottom of six individual 5-ounce fluted plastic dessert molds and then fill the molds with the orange souffle mixture.
• Place the molds on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap.
• Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, and preferably overnight, until firm.
