Ingredients:

1 tbsp vanilla extract
16g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
3 eggs
150g
1/4 cup sugar
50g
2 passion fruits
80g
2 tbsp orange zest
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Prepare Custard Mixture:
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is just about to boil. Remove from heat immediately and set aside to cool slightly.
3. Combine Eggs and Sugar:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Add Warm Milk:
Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking. This process is called tempering the eggs.
5. Flavor the Custard:
Add the vanilla extract and orange zest to the mixture and stir well to combine.
6. Prepare Passion Fruit:
Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds into a small bowl. Gently fold the passion fruit pulp into the custard mixture.
7. Strain the Mixture (Optional):
For a smoother custard, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps or egg solids. This step is optional.
8. Pour into Ramekins:
Divide the custard mixture evenly among six ramekins or small ovenproof dishes.
9. Prepare a Water Bath:
Place the ramekins in a large baking dish. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This water bath will help cook the custards evenly and prevent them from cracking.
10. Bake:
Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the custards for 30-35 minutes, or until they are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
11. Cool:
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the custards for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
12. Serve:
Serve the orange passionfruit custards chilled. You can garnish with a little extra orange zest or a few passion fruit seeds for added visual appeal, if desired. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to help them combine more smoothly.

- When zesting the oranges, avoid the white pith as it can add a bitter taste to the custard.

- Strain the custard mixture through a fine mesh sieve before baking to achieve a smoother texture.

- Bake the custards in a water bath to ensure even cooking and prevent the custards from cracking.

- Allow the custards to cool to room temperature before refrigerating them for at least 2 hours to set properly.

- For an enhanced presentation, garnish the custards with fresh passionfruit pulp or a slice of orange before serving.

Orange passionfruit custards are a fantastic choice for a refreshing and sophisticated dessert. With the right techniques and a bit of patience, you can create a creamy, flavorful treat that will wow your taste buds. Enjoy the balance of tangy fruit and smooth, velvety custard in each spoonful, and don't hesitate to experiment with your own variations to make this recipe uniquely yours.
