3 Tablespoons orange rind
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup Grand Marnier® Cordon Rouge liqueur
a pinch of salt
1/2 cup grated coconut
2 cup finely chopped walnuts, toasted
1 cup heavy cream
Directions: Butter the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Beat the yolks and 3/4 cup of sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer until thick and creamy. Beat in the orange rind, lemon juice, Grand Marnier® Cordon Rouge liqueur and salt. Fold in the grated coconut and walnuts thoroughly. Beat the egg whites to the soft peak stage. Add the remaining sugar and continue to beat until stiff but not dry. Fold into the egg yolk mixture gently but thoroughly.
