Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 6 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
• 0.5 cup Whipped cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Arrange 6 small ramekins in a baking dish large enough to hold them comfortably.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and small bubbles start to form around the edges. Do not boil.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla extract, Grand Marnier, and orange zest until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 4

Slowly and carefully pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

Step 5

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any lumps or zest pieces for a smooth custard.

Step 6

Divide the custard mixture evenly between the 6 ramekins, leaving a bit of space at the top of each.

Step 7

Pour hot water into the baking dish, around the ramekins, until the water reaches halfway up their sides. This creates a water bath to ensure even baking.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center when shaken.

Step 9

Remove the ramekins from the water bath using tongs and let them cool to room temperature. Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for the flavors to develop.

Step 10

Optionally, garnish with dark chocolate shavings and a dollop of whipped cream before serving. Enjoy your Grand Marnier Pots De Crème!
