This decadent Grand Marnier dessert features the legendary orange liqueur in the cupcake batter, the sauce Suzette, and even the garnish cream! In other words, you better like Grand Marnier if you’re going to make this recipe. The cupcakes are super orangey thanks to the Grand Marnier, plus grated orange zest, while the citrusy sauce Suzette features fresh lemon and orange juice to cut through the dense richness vanilla-infused mascarpone cream.

Grand Marnier Pecan Pie

Pecan pie is a delicious dessert that really can’t be beat. Why not kick it up an extra notch and add some Grand Marnier to your pie mix? This Grand Marnier dessert recipe isn’t so much a reinvention of a classic pecan pie recipe as it is a tweak. You can add three tablespoons to your favorite pecan pie recipe, or follow this one from start to finish. Don’t forget to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top before you eat it!

No, we didn’t think so. This spongy cake recipe takes pound cake, marmalade (orange is fine, but raspberry is even better), mascarpone cream, and the smooth orange flavor of Grand Marnier. Topped off with delicate slices of orange, this an unforgettably rich and decadent dessert that will please everyone at your table. You can find the recipe for this one here.
