Instructions:
- Begin by washing the oranges thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax.
- In a medium pot of boiling water, add the whole oranges. Boil them for about 30 minutes to soften the skin and reduce bitterness.
- Drain the water and set the oranges aside to cool. Once cool, cut them into quarters, removing any seeds, but keep the peel intact.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Toast the almonds in the oven for about 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Allow the almonds to cool.
- Once cooled, grind the almonds in a food processor to a fine powder.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the ground almonds, sugar, and baking powder. Stir to combine the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, add the quartered oranges and orange juice. Use a food processor or blender to blend the mixture until smooth.
- Add the eggs to the orange mixture, blending until everything is thoroughly mixed and smooth.
- Pour the orange mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until well combined.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if not already done.
- Grease a pudding dish or baking dish (an 8-inch springform pan works well) with butter or a non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the pudding comes out clean.
- While the pudding is baking, you can prepare a simple orange syrup if desired.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup orange juice and 1/4 cup sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly into a syrup.
- Once the pudding is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the pudding from the pan and place it on a serving plate.
- Pour the warm orange syrup over the pudding or serve it on the side for guests to drizzle as they like.
- Serve the Orange Almond Syrup Pudding warm or at room temperature. It can be paired with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality almonds.: Blanch and peel almonds for a smoother texture in the pudding. Fresh almonds have better flavor and will enhance the overall taste of your dessert.
- Ensure oranges are juicy and sweet.: Select ripe, juicy oranges to get the best flavor and natural sweetness. This will make a significant difference in the final taste of your pudding.
- Be careful when separating egg whites and yolks.: Any trace of yolk in the whites can prevent them from whipping up properly. Use separate bowls for each egg to avoid this issue.
- Fold ingredients gently to maintain airiness.: When combining whipped egg whites with other ingredients, use a gentle folding motion to keep the mixture airy for a light texture.
- Serve with a garnish for extra flair.: Top the pudding with thin slices of orange, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or some toasted almond slices to make it look as good as it tastes.
Your Orange almond syrup pudding is now ready to serve! The combination of almond and orange flavors offers a delightful contrast in texture and taste.
