Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream and milk until smooth.
- Add the egg yolks, 1/3 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the sugar is dissolved.
- Place the filled custard cups into the prepared baking dish.
- Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish around the cups to about halfway up their sides, creating a water bath to ensure even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the custards are just set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
- Remove the custard cups from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, cover the custards with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
- Peel the oranges and slice them into thin rounds, removing any seeds.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the orange slices to the syrup. Simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, until the oranges are tender and translucent.
- Just before serving, top each custard pot with a few candied orange slices.
- Drizzle a bit of the reserved syrup over the top for added sweetness and garnish.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe oranges: Opt for fresh, juicy oranges to get the most vibrant and sweet flavor for your custard pots.
- Prevent overcooking: Monitor the cooking process carefully to ensure the custard does not overcook, as this can result in a grainy texture.
- Chill before serving: For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the custard pots for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Use a water bath: Place the custard-filled ramekins in a water bath while baking to promote even cooking and prevent the custard from cracking.
- Experiment with flavors: Feel free to experiment with additional spices or citrus fruits to customize the flavor of your custard pots.
Voilà! You've successfully created luscious custard pots with sweet oranges. The blend of creamy custard and citrusy oranges results in a dessert that's both refreshing and indulgent, making it an excellent choice for any occasion. Serve these delightful treats chilled, and watch as they quickly become a favorite at your table.
