Caramel Sauce With Grand Marnier Flan Style Recipe 385

Steps:

• Equipment needed: Heavy skillet or a thick bottomed pan Whisk NOTE: Be sure to have all of your ingredients ready before First, before you begin, make sure you have everything ready to go - the water and the alcohol (if using) next to the pan, ready to put in. Making caramel is a fast process that cannot wait for hunting around for ingredients. If you don't work fast, the sugar will burn. Safety first - make sure there are no children under foot and you may want to wear oven mitts; the caramelized sugar will be much hotter than boiling water. In a heavy skillet, and place over medium-high heat, spread the sugar evenly. As the sugar begins to melt, stir vigorously with a whisk or wooden spoon. As soon as the sugar comes to a boil, stop stirring. You can swirl the pan a bit if you want, from this point on. Note that this recipe works best if you are using a thick-bottomed pan. The sugar should turn to a dark amber--about 2-3 minutes. Very carefully, stir in 1/2 cup warm water (I used 1/4 cup water and 3 Tbsp. of Grand Marnier) and bourbon. It will bubble, but don't panic! Stir until combined, and remove from heat to cool to room temperature. The sauce will be a very thin consistency. This is perfect for serving with a panna cota. If you refrigerate this sauce, it will thicken and is perfect for flavoring a vanilla butter cream or looks very pretty drizzled over a piece of cheesecake, ice cream or frosted cupcakes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush the inside of 6 (10-ounce) ramekins with melted butter. Put a few tablespoons of sugar in a ramekin, and roll to coat the inside with sugar. Pour the sugar in the next ramekin and continue to coat the remaining ramekins in the same manner, adding more sugar, if necessary.
• Melt the chocolate and butter over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool the mixture until it is just warm to the touch.
• In an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks until light and foamy. Mix in the liqueur and vanilla. Fold in the chocolate mixture.
• In a clean mixer bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar to soft peaks. With the mixer running, add the sugar and beat to stiff peaks.
• In 3 additions, fold the whites into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Fill the ramekins with the mixture. Bake until the souffles have risen and the tops and edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and immediately sift confectioners' sugar over the tops. Place on a plate and serve immediately. At the table, poke a hole in the center of the souffle with a spoon and pour in Black Walnut Caramel Sauce.
• In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, cook until the caramel is beginning to turn brown. Carefully swirl the pan until the caramel turns a deep brown.
• Immediately add the walnuts and cream, being careful not to let the cream boil over.
• Reduce the heat to a simmer. With a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pan until all caramel is dissolved and sauce is smooth. Remove from the heat. Add vanilla and butter. Stir until the butter is completely dissolved.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly spray 4 heatproof 6.5-oz. ramekins with vegetable spray. Place ramekins in a casserole dish.
• Place 1/2 cup sugar in a small, heavy, dry skillet over medium heat. When sugar begins to melt around the edges, gently shake the pan continually, swirling sugar around, until all the sugar melts; don't use utensils to stir. When sugar is completely melted and dark brown, remove the pan from heat.
• Quickly pour equal amounts of caramel syrup into the 4 prepared ramekins.
• Place 1 egg and 3 egg yolks in a bowl with a pinch of salt and 1/4 cup sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture becomes frothy, about 1 minute.
• Spoon the creme fraiche into the egg mixture; add the milk, vanilla, and Grand Marnier. Whisk together until ingredients are completely mixed.
• Ladle mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
• Fill casserole with hot tap water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Place casserole on middle rack of preheated oven.
• Bake until just barely set, 45 to 50 minutes. You can start checking for doneness at about 40 minutes.
• Using tongs, remove the ramekins from the casserole to a cooling rack. When just slightly warm, run a sharp paring knife around the edge of each custard.
• To unmold, cover ramekin with a small plate, then invert. Chill before serving.

Steps:

• First preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Second prepare caramel sauce
• Step 1 In a sauce pan add your sugar and vinegar stir until its a caramel color as dark or light as you like
• Step 2 Pour the sauce which will harden in your individual dishes or one round or square pyrex pan
• Flan.
• Step 1 pour your condensed milk into a medium size mixing bowl add you milk and eggs mix well then add you vanilla extract and mix well.
• Step 2 Put you dishes or pans in other larger pans and then pour flan mixture in them ( I usually put them in the oven with the racks pulled out half ways then pour the flan in the containers) then once you have the pans/ dishes filled pour hot tap water around the filled containers and bake for about 1 hour or until the flan is a nice browned color.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a small, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, cook sugar, stirring, until golden. Pour into a 10 inch round baking dish, tilting to coat bottom and sides. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. Beat in condensed and evaporated milk and vanilla until smooth. Pour into caramel coated pan. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place baking dish on towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven 50 to 60 minutes, until center is just set. Cool one hour on wire rack, then chill in refrigerator 8 hours or overnight. To unmold, run a knife around edges of pan and invert on a rimmed serving platter.
