INSTRUCTIONS
For Praline: Lightly oil baking sheet. Stir sugar and water in heavy
medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat
and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, brushing down
sides of pan with pastry brush dipped into water and swirling pan
occasionally. Mix in nuts. Pour onto prepared sheet; cool. Coarsely
chop praline. For Filling: Boil tangerine juice in heavy large
saucepan until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 12 minutes. Set aside. Whisk
1 cup sugar and yolks in large metal bowl. Whisk in 1 cup water. Set
bowl over saucepan of simmering water and whisk constantly until candy
thermometer registers 180F., about 5 minutes. Remove from over water.
Using electric mixer, beat mixture until cool, about 5 minutes. Mix in
tangerine juice, cream and peel. Add mascarpone and 2 tablespoons
Grand Marnier and beat until smooth. Fold in 1 cup praline (reserve
remaining praline for another use). Chill filling while preparing
biscuits. Line 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high
sides with plastic wrap. Stir remaining 10 tablespoons sugar, 10
tablespoons water and espresso powder in heavy small saucepan over low
heat until sugar dissolves. Mix in 5 tablespoons Grand Marnier. Cool
syrup. Using sharp knife, trim 1 biscuit to 3-inch length. Soak
biscuit in syrup 10 seconds per side. Place rounded end up and sugared
side against side of prepared pan. Repeat with as many biscuits as
necessary to cover sides of pan. Soak more biscuits in syrup and place
on bottom of pan, covering completely. Pour half of filling into pan.
Soak more biscuits in syrup 10 seconds per side; place atop filling,
covering completely. Spoon remaining filling over. Freeze overnight.
Release pan sides from cake. Fold down plastic. Sift cocoa over
dessert. Garnish with tangerine slices, if desired. Serves 12. Bon
