STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Prepare the Crème Anglaise: Whisk egg yolks with 2 tbsp sugar. Heat infused cream and vanilla bean until simmering.
💡 Flow tip: Temper the eggs by adding a little hot cream at a time so they don't scramble.
2. Cook the sauce over low heat until it coats the back of a spoon; strain and chill.
💡 Flow tip: The sauce is the vehicle for the THC; ensure it is well emulsified.
3. Whip egg whites and remaining sugar to stiff, glossy peaks.
💡 Flow tip: Ensure the bowl is perfectly clean and fat-free for maximum volume.
4. Gently fold orange zest and Grand Marnier into the whites, being careful not to deflate them.
💡 Flow tip: Work in thirds: stir the first third in to lighten, then fold the rest gently.
5. Pour into buttered and sugared ramekins and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes.
💡 Flow tip: Do not open the oven door while baking or they will collapse!
6. Poke a hole in the center of the hot soufflé and pour in the chilled infused Crème Anglaise.
💡 Flow tip: The contrast of hot soufflé and cold sauce is the classic French experience.
