Ingredients:

1/3 cup light sour cream
72g
1.25 cups milk (1% fat)
300g
8 yolks
140g
1/3 cup sugar
63g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
3 oranges
450g
2 cups sugar
460g
1 cup water
250g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a baking dish that can accommodate the custard cups by placing a clean kitchen towel at the bottom.
2. Prepare Custard Mixture:
- 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.
3. Strain Mixture: Pour the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps for a silky smooth texture. Pour the strained mixture evenly into individual ramekins or custard cups.
4. Bake Custards:
- 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.
5. Cool Custards:
- 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.
6. Prepare the Sweet Oranges:
- 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.
7. Cool Oranges: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the orange slices to a wire rack to cool and drain. Let the syrup cool separately.
8. Assemble and Serve:
- 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.
