A beautiful and luxurious dessert that impresses. You need at least four hours to chill this before serving, so plan accordingly. Enjoy. Recipe from Gourmet.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs shopping list
- 1 cup whole milk shopping list
- 3 cups chilled heavy cream, divided shopping list
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, divided shopping list
- 1 cup all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1/8 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1 cup confectioners sugar, divided shopping list
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest, divided shopping list
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted shopping list
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or Cointreau shopping list
How to make it
- Blend eggs, milk, 1/2 cup cream, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla with flour, salt, 1/4 cup confectioners sugar, and 1 teaspoon zest in a blender until just smooth.
- Brush a 10-inch nonstick skillet lightly with some of melted butter, then heat over medium-high heat until hot.
- Pour in a scant 1/4 cup batter, immediately tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.)
- Cook until underside is golden and top is just set, 15 to 45 seconds. Loosen edge of crépe with a heatproof rubber spatula, then flip crêpe over with your fingertips and cook 15 seconds more. Transfer to a plate.
- Continue making crêpes, brushing skillet with butter each time and stacking on plate.
- Beat remaining 2 1/2 cups cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 3/4 cup confectioners sugar, 1 teaspoon zest, and Grand Marnier in a large deep bowl with an electric mixer until cream holds stiff peaks.
- Center a crêpe on a serving plate and spread with 1/4 cup cream. Continue stacking crêpes and spreading with cream, ending with a crêpe.
- Chill, covered, at least 4 hours and up to 24.
