[@davedavids9619]

Looks great, probably also tastes great. You can also try a combination with orange sorbetto. Contrast of warm and cold, with a very rich orange flavor. Some people serve it with vanilla ice cream, though this ruins the flavor of the crepes suzette.

[@davedavids9619]

@@mts0628 the vanilla just overpowers the subtle orange flavors, you will only taste vanilla gelato. After trying the crepes with vanilla gelato, we basically concluded the crepes were better without it. So we started experimenting with other flavors, which was not too difficult for us since we produce gelato professionally anyway. After testing close to 10 different flavors we unanimously concluded that orange sorbetto is the way to go. Just give it a try, compare crepes suzette with vanilla gelato and crepes suzette with orange sorbetto. Then let us know what your opinion is, am curious whether you agree.

[@davedavids9619]

@@mts0628 great to hear you tried it. And of course it is all a personal preference. In the end it is what you prefer the most which will be the deciding factor. I must say I have not tried it with factory made vanilla ice cream, we make our own with around 10 % fat, real madagaskar vanilla sticks and fresh (pasteurized) cow milk, no powders, no chemicals. with an overrun of perhaps 35 - 40 %. Perhaps I should try it as well with factory made vanilla ice cream, it might work. For me I must say I like the deep orange taste you get with orange sorbetto. But like I said, it is all personal preference, whatever works for you is what you should stick to, it is an old, but mouthwatering dessert.

[@Desi365]

Agree. Ice cream on top just ruins it, îve never understood that.

[@JudiChristopher]

​@@mts0628 THANK YOU so much for this post... I will jot it down ... I am in the midst of moving back to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US) to RE-Open my Acting Studio and since I have had a cafe/restaurant I want to also have my Acting Students to learn to act in a Mystery Dinner Theatre, so they do not have to wait years to act on stage or in front of a (real) audience... My first line, in my first play when I was 9, was "We must make Crepe Suzette"... and I remember (on stage) another actor doing exactly what this gentleman did here in this video... I was at awww.... and I thought in one of my shows... I must (learn) how to do this... besides the fact I love Crepes with anything... especially strawberries.

[@JudiChristopher]

@@davedavids9619 Your vanilla ice cream sounds so good... You must try it... IF and only IF you like Orange Julius ... I do.

[@michelbalbarani4541]

Very interesting, you always learn something new. I know this variant : Butter to be melted and kept warm with orange and lemon peels to be scented. Sugar cubes to be rubbed on orange so to get the taste, and then caramel ized. Both Cointreau and Gd-Marnier can be used at the same time. The culinary dictionary say to have the butter whipped with grated mandarine gratted peel and juice with sugar, then spreaded into the pancakes, iced sugar on top and gratinated. No alcohol. Vive la différence ! How many recipes are around? Michel

Seems like a really impractical setup. You look like your putting condiments together to make a airplane meal. Now we put in the ketchup and mix it with the free complimentary butter and free coffee and make a tera misu.

You just touched that lemon with your bare hands. Traditionally one would use half lemons and you didnt even use cognac aswell. So please dont say perfect crepe suzette its just how you do it in rubens then

[@Redcarnationhotels]

Thank you for your comment Nicola. Grand Marnier is an orange-flavored liqueur made from a blend of Cognac brandy. The essence of orange and sugar marries very well with the orange juice and sugar used in the making of the crêpes suzette and so it has become more commonly used in the recipe in recent years.

[@nicolaguidohitzfeld4247]

@@Redcarnationhotels there is cognac in the red label grand manier yes but you use both. Grand manier into the sauce and then flambé with cognac. I work in a french michelin star restaurant and this is certainly a good recipe but there was some mistakes within it and how you did it, so please dont call it perfect. Call it „Rubens crêpe suzzette“ or smth like that. I‘d love to try it once, have a nice day
