Orange Creme Caramel

🍰 Desserts

Caramel custard brightened with orange zest, the citrus spin on flan. Silky and spoonable, with a clean, comforting sweetness. Lovely with a few berries or a thin biscuit on the side.

Prep 20 min Cook 9 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Milk1 litre
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Egg Yolk2 cups, chopped
  • Orange Zest1 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chill your bowls and whisk if you are working with cream — cold cream whips better.

  2. 2

    Warm the milk with the orange zest gently until steaming, not boiling, so the base stays smooth.

  3. 3

    Beat the egg yolk and sugar together, then ease in the warm milk a little at a time.

  4. 4

    Return to gentle heat and stir without stopping until it thickens enough to cloak the spoon.

  5. 5

    Pour into dishes, chill at least four hours, and serve cold with sugar on top.

Chef's tip

Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
