At HomeandFashion.love we believe some recipes are less about indulgence and more about elevation — rising with grace and intention, just like a perfect soufflé. This Orange Soufflé, infused with Grand Marnier, fresh citrus, and vanilla bean, is light as air and deeply refined. It’s a celebration of confidence, timing, and beauty — much like the life we help you curate.
Ingredients
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
• 1/2 cup white flour
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 4 additional egg whites (for a total of 7 whites)
• Zest and juice of 1 orange
• 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
• 1/8 cup butter (for the batter)
For the mold:
• 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (for dusting)
Method
Step 1: Prep the Mold
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously butter the inside of your soufflé mold and coat it with sugar, tapping out the excess. Set aside.
Step 2: Infuse the Milk
In a saucepan, heat the milk with the scraped vanilla bean and pod until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Discard the pod.
Step 3: Create the Base
In a bowl, whisk flour and 1/3 cup of the sugar together. Slowly pour in the warm milk while whisking. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook gently over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter, egg yolks, orange zest, juice, and Grand Marnier.
Step 4: Whip the Egg Whites
In a clean bowl, beat all 7 egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Step 5: Fold and Fill
Gently fold one-third of the whites into the warm orange base to lighten it, then fold in the rest carefully to keep the batter airy.
Step 6: Bake with Confidence
Pour the mixture into the prepared mold. Run your thumb around the edge to help the soufflé rise evenly. Bake in the center of the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and dramatically puffed. Do not open the oven door while baking.
Step 7: Serve Immediately
Bring it to the table at once — this is a moment worth savoring. Serve as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar and a spoonful of lightly whipped cream.
The Signature Touch
Serve this soufflé as the centerpiece to a well-set table, surrounded by fresh flowers, linen napkins, and warm conversation. It’s not just dessert — it’s a performance, a pause, a breath of citrus-laced joy.
