Oranges with white chocolate cream

Oranges with white chocolate cream is a delightful dessert that combines the zesty sweetness of oranges with the rich, velvety texture of white chocolate cream. This recipe is perfect for special occasions or as a refreshing ending to a hearty meal. It's simple to prepare, yet sure to impress your guests with its vibrant flavors and elegant presentation.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup white chocolate
120g
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
120g
1/4 cup sugar
50g
2 tbsp orange juice
30g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
3 oranges
450g

Instructions:

1. Melt the White Chocolate:
- Break the white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
- Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler method: place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave: heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
2. Prepare the Ricotta Mixture:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sugar, and orange juice. Mix until smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.
3. Combine Chocolate and Ricotta Mixtures:
- Once the white chocolate has slightly cooled but is still liquefied, slowly add it to the ricotta mixture. Stir continuously to ensure a smooth blend and avoid any lump formation.
4. Whip the Cream:
- In a separate mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until it forms stiff peaks. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
5. Fold Whipped Cream into Chocolate Mixture:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta and white chocolate mixture. Use a spatula and carefully mix until well incorporated, ensuring you maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream.
6. Prepare the Oranges:
- Peel the oranges, making sure to remove all the white pith.
- Slice or segment the oranges as preferred. If slicing, aim for even, round slices about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Assemble the Dessert:
- In serving dishes, arrange the orange slices or segments.
- Spoon the white chocolate cream over the top of the oranges, distributing it evenly.
8. Chill before Serving (Optional):
- For a refreshing dessert, you can chill the assembled dishes in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
9. Serve:
- Garnish with additional orange zest, a sprinkle of white chocolate shavings, or a sprig of mint if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

- Ensure the white chocolate is finely chopped for easier melting.

- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.

- Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream to achieve the perfect consistency.

- For a smoother texture, make sure the ricotta cheese is well-drained before mixing.

- Garnish with a few orange zest curls for an added touch of elegance.

- Serve the dessert chilled for the best taste and texture experience.

This Oranges with white chocolate cream is a perfect blend of citrus and sweetness that can elevate any meal. The creamy richness of white chocolate pairs wonderfully with the fresh, juicy oranges, creating a dessert that is both luxurious and refreshing.
