Baked orange creams

Baked orange creams are a delightful dessert that combines the bright, zesty flavor of oranges with the rich, creamy texture of a custard. This simple yet elegant dessert is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re entertaining guests or simply treating yourself. Here’s how to make this classic creamy dessert.

Ingredients:

1 cup orange juice
200g
6 yolks
100g
1 cup sugar
200g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

2. Prepare the Mixture:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the 6 egg yolks and 1 cup of sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly pale.

3. Add the Orange Juice and Cream:
- Gradually add in the 1 cup of orange juice while continuing to whisk until fully combined.
- Finally, pour in the 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream and whisk the mixture until it's smooth and thoroughly combined.
4. Strain the Mixture (Optional):
- For an extra smooth texture, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or egg solids.
5. Pour Into Ramekins:
- Divide the mixture evenly into individual ramekins or custard cups.
6. Prepare the Water Bath:
- Place the filled ramekins in a large baking dish. Pour hot water into the baking dish around the ramekins until the water reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This water bath helps to evenly cook the creams and prevents them from curdling.
7. Bake:
- Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the creams are set. They should still have a slight jiggle in the center when you gently shake the ramekins.
8. Cool and Refrigerate:
- Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
9. Serve:
- Serve the baked orange creams chilled. You can garnish with a small slice of orange, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprig of mint for a decorative touch.

Tips:

- Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor. If possible, squeeze the juice from fresh oranges rather than using store-bought juice.

- Ensure the yolks are well beaten before combining them with other ingredients. This helps achieve a smooth and consistent custard.

- Bake the custards in a water bath. This helps them cook evenly and prevents cracking.

- Check for doneness by gently shaking the baking dish. The custard should be set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.

- Cool the baked creams to room temperature before chilling them in the refrigerator. This helps them set properly.

With this easy recipe, you can create a wonderfully creamy and citrusy dessert that's sure to impress. Baked orange creams are a versatile sweet treat, perfect for any season. Remember to use fresh ingredients and follow the baking tips to achieve the best results. Enjoy every spoonful of this luscious dessert!
