Lactose-free orange creme caramels are a delightful dessert that combines the zesty flavor of oranges with a smooth, creamy custard. This recipe is perfect for those who are lactose intolerant or simply looking to reduce their dairy consumption without sacrificing taste. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that's both elegant and delicious.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small saucepan, pour the 1/2 cup of orange juice.
- Add 1 cup of sugar to the orange juice.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to boil.
- Continue cooking without stirring until the mixture turns a golden amber color. Be careful not to burn the caramel.
- Immediately pour the hot caramel into the bottoms of 4-6 ramekins, tilting the ramekins to coat the bottoms evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs with the remaining 1 cup of sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Gradually add the remaining orange juice while continuing to whisk until fully combined.
3. Combine and Prepare for Baking:
- Pour the prepared custard mixture evenly into the ramekins over the hardened caramel.
- Place the filled ramekins in a large baking dish or roasting pan.
- Pour hot water into the baking dish or roasting pan to create a water bath. The water should reach about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Carefully transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow them to cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the creme caramels for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best results.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of each ramekin to loosen the custard.
- Invert each ramekin onto a dessert plate to release the caramel and custard.
- Enjoy your delicious Lactose-Free Orange Creme Caramels!
Tips:
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
- Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly to create a smooth custard.
- When cooking the caramel, keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't burn—caramel can go from perfect to scorched very quickly.
- After pouring the caramel into the ramekins, allow it to cool slightly before adding the custard mixture.
- For an even texture, strain the custard mixture through a fine sieve before pouring it into the ramekins.
- Bake the custards in a water bath to prevent them from cracking and to ensure they cook evenly.
- Allow the creme caramels to chill in the refrigerator for at least a few hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld and the custard set properly.
