MOUNT ROYAL

This next dessert is a delight to make,your guest will think you’re a genius. I got this by looking over the shoulder of a Real Dessert Maker while staying in Montreal Canada at a very nice hotel I was having dinner there when this Dessert Master came to the table next to me with a small cart. He pealed several small seedless oranges flowered the oranges out in round dessert dishes that had 2 inch high sides placed scoops of French Vanilla Ice Cream in the middle of the dishes
heated a mixture of Grande Marnier and brown sugar when sugar dissolved poured equal amounts of this mixtures over the ice cream then sprinkle grated orange peel on the top of each dessert. Of course this was all done with a flare that French waiters and food people do when they know they have your attention. I name this one

MOUNT ROYAL

3 Small Seedless Oranges
2 Oz Grand Marnier
4 Tsp. Brown Sugar
4 Scoops of French Vanilla Ice Cream
¾ tbs. of Grated Orange Peel

Mad Scientist Instructions..............

Pearl oranges, take the orange wedges and place in a dessert dish, enough slices to make a nice flower pattern around the edge. Place a scoop of French Ice Cream in the middle of the dish. At this point you could place the dessert in the refrigerator till ready to serve. Just before serving mix 2 oz of Grande Marnier with 4 tbs. of brown sugar in a sauce pan (Side Bar: It is a very good idea to purchase a very good heavy bottom sauce pan. 1. Better spread of heat. 2. Most important alcohol and heat just love to tear at each other. 3. A heaver pan is not as easy to tip over. 4. Don’t walk away and leave mixture on the stove.) We are just looking to melt the sugar and bring to a liquid, this should take about one to two minutes on low heat to complete. OK when your guest are ready for dessert your Grande Marnier should be heated and ready to pour over the ice cream (Side Bar: Using a large spoon works well to accomplish getting equal amounts on each dessert.)

Sprinkle the grated orange peel on the top of the ice cream and serve. As the French say
Bon Appetit.
