Nothing beats a smooth digestif to round off a good meal, and Grand Marnier is perfect for it! This delicious liqueur with its bitter orange notes adds a touch of sophistication when paired with homemade ice cream. With the Ninja CREAMi, you can easily prepare smooth and flavorful ice creams to complement your Grand Marnier.
Here are two classic yet elegant ideas for pairing Grand Marnier with simple and timeless ice cream flavors, which enhance the orange notes of the digestif.
1. Milk Chocolate and Grand Marnier Ice Cream: Smooth and Subtle
Milk chocolate is milder than dark chocolate, and it pairs wonderfully with Grand Marnier. Together, they create a subtle and sweet harmony, where the orange adds a touch of bitterness that balances the chocolate's sweetness.
- Tip : Prepare milk chocolate ice cream with the Ninja CREAMi for a wonderfully creamy texture. Once served, drizzle a little Grand Marnier over the ice cream. The chocolate melts slightly on contact with the Grand Marnier, creating a smooth and fragrant combination.
- Gourmet suggestion : Add a few chocolate shavings for a bit of crunch, or a thin slice of candied orange to accentuate the citrus note.
This combination of milk chocolate and Grand Marnier is a revisited classic that will delight those with a sweet tooth. Perfect for a delicious and delicate end to a meal.
2. Coffee and Grand Marnier Ice Cream: The Rich and Intense Combination
Coffee, with its subtle bitterness, pairs beautifully with Grand Marnier. This combination results in a rich and refined dessert, where the citrus aromas of the Grand Marnier enhance the roasted notes of the coffee.
- Tip : Prepare coffee ice cream with the Ninja CREAMi, making sure to get a nice creamy base. Add a shot of Grand Marnier for a contrast between the intensity of the coffee and the orange flavor of the digestif.
- Gourmet suggestion : For a finishing touch, sprinkle with cocoa powder or cinnamon. You can also add a few crushed coffee beans for a crunchy and intense texture.
This coffee and Grand Marnier duo is perfect for those who love bold flavors. It's an elegant way to end a meal, both comforting and full of character.
