Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 sheet (1/2 pound) frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 navel orange
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface roll out the puff pastry 1/8 inch thick and cut out as many 6-inch squares as desired, reserving any remaining dough, covered and chilled, for another use. (Extra squares, baked, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for several days). Transfer the squares to an ungreased baking sheet, bake them in the upper third of a preheated 425°F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden, and let them cool on a rack.
  • While the pastry is baking, remove the zest from half of the orange with a vegetable peeler and chop it. With a serrated knife cut away the remaining zest and the pith from the orange, discarding them, and cut the sections free from the membranes, discarding the membranes. In a heavy skillet cook the sugar over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt and continue cooking the sugar, swirling the skillet, until it is a golden caramel. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the water carefully with the chopped zest. Simmer the sugar mixture, stirring, until the caramel is dissolved, add the Grand Marnier, and boil the mixture until it is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Strain the sauce into a bowl and let it cool until it is warm.
  • Put a pastry square on each of 2-dessert plates, top each pastry with a scoop of the ice cream and some of the orange sections, and drizzle each serving with some of the sauce.

These pastry crisps were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

Meh. The pastry crisps were okay, but the orange caramel sauce was too sweet for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Not bad! The pastry crisps were a bit too dry for my taste, but the orange caramel sauce was heavenly. I'll try experimenting with different pastry recipes to see if I can get a crispier result.
