Perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself to a gourmet dessert at home, this recipe is both sophisticated and surprisingly easy to make.
- When melting the sugar, make sure to watch it carefully as it can burn quickly. Stir consistently to ensure even melting.
- Use fresh orange juice and zest for the best flavor. Avoid the white pith of the orange as it can add a bitter taste.
- Strain the custard mixture before pouring it into the ramekins to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Bake the custards in a water bath (bain-marie) to prevent the edges from overcooking while the center stays creamy.
- Allow the crème caramel to cool completely and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps it set properly and enhances the flavors.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries just before serving to add a pop of color and a complementary flavor to the dish.
With its silky texture and refreshing orange undertone, Orange Crème Caramel is a dessert that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who tastes it. The combination of citrus and caramel creates a harmonious blend of flavors that is both unique and indulgent. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh strawberries for an added touch of elegance.
