Grand Marnier Soufflés

Really, really nice. We served it with this chocolate sauce, which unfortunately didn't work that - the flavour of the Grand Marnier is very subtle, and didn't hold up against the earthy chocolate sauce. Next time I would probably add some grated orange zest or more Grand Marnier (or most likely: both), and I'd still be tempted to serve it with chocolate sauce again.

Although this really is a showpiece dessert, it's not really made for when you're having guests, as you will have to make virtually everything at the very last moment. They rose beautifully though, and didn't collapse at all! Better yet, we were in the midst of a very heated discussion when they were done, so I just turned off the oven and hoped for the best, and when we retrieved them some... 20-30 (?) minutes later, they were still doing fine, just that the top had turned into something of a crust. They nearly did get burned in the beginning though, so I had to turn down the heat after only 5 min, and then set the timer to another 20 min at the lower temperature.

It's supposed to be for 6 persons, but I'm sure we could have fed 8 with the amount it yielded.
