Add egg yolks, vanilla extract, and Grand Marnier. Stir well using a whisk.

Sieve the egg mixture using tea strainer, and pour into a muffin pan*. Fill each cup with the egg mixture to just below the top. Cover with aluminum foil to avoid drying out.

Place the muffin pan in a roasting pan half-filled with hot water. Bake it for 30-35min.

After cooling the pudding to room temperature, remove the foil. Sprinkle brown sugar on top. Brown the surface using torch burner**.

Serve chilled or flozen !!

Additional Notes:
*Of course, you can use 6 small ramekins instead.
**A torch burner works best but, if you don’t have one, broil in the oven.
