Cardamom custards with caramelised orange

Cardamom custards with caramelized orange is a delightful dessert that combines creamy custard infused with the aromatic spice of cardamom, topped with the sweet and tangy flavor of caramelized oranges. This elegant treat is perfect for special occasions or when you want to impress your guests with something unique and delicious.

Ingredients:

1.25 cups milk (1% fat)
300g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
1 tsp cardamom
5g
2 garlic cloves
6g
3 yolks
50g
3 oranges
450g
2 tbsp pistachio nuts
30g

Instructions:

2. Add Brown Sugar, Cardamom, and Garlic:
- Stir in 1/3 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom, and the finely minced garlic cloves. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
2. Temper the Egg Yolks:
- Gradually add the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks while whisking constantly to avoid curdling the yolks. This is known as tempering. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
2. Strain and Cool:
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any solids. Allow it to cool slightly, then divide the custard into ramekins or serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
2. Caramelize the Orange Segments:
- In a clean, dry skillet over medium heat, place the orange segments. Sprinkle a little bit of brown sugar (optional) over the oranges and cook until they begin to caramelize, turning occasionally to ensure even caramelization. This should take about 5-6 minutes.
2. Garnish with Pistachios:
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped pistachio nuts over the caramelized orange segments.
3. Serve:
- Serve immediately, or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Tips:

- Use fresh cardamom pods for the best flavor; grind the seeds to a fine powder just before use.

- Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites to ensure a smooth custard texture.

- Zest the oranges before juicing them to easily collect and incorporate the zest into the caramelized topping.

- Caramelize the oranges slowly over medium heat to prevent burning and to achieve a deep golden color.

- Strain the custard mixture before baking to remove any lumps and ensure a silky consistency.

Cardamom custards with caramelized orange offer a harmonious blend of spice and sweetness. The creamy texture of the custard complements the tangy and sweet caramelized oranges, making this dessert a truly memorable experience. Serve it chilled to enjoy the full spectrum of flavors and textures.
