Comment préparer Orange Catalonian Cream
- Combine 4 cups whole milk, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 vanilla bean (split and scraped), zest of 2 large oranges, and a pinch of salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5-6 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
- Meanwhile, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/2 cup cold milk in a small bowl until completely smooth and lump-free.
- In a large bowl, whisk 6 large egg yolks with 2 cups granulated sugar until pale, thick, and creamy.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the egg yolk mixture until fully incorporated.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean from the milk. Strain the infused milk through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean large saucepan.
- Temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly whisking about 1 cup of the hot milk into it. This prevents the yolks from scrambling.
- Gradually whisk the tempered egg yolk mixture into the remaining hot milk in the saucepan, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens considerably and coats the back of a spoon (about 10-12 minutes). Do not boil.
- Divide the cream evenly among 12 oven-safe ramekins.
- Let the ramekins cool completely to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of superfine sugar evenly over the surface of each ramekin.
- Place the ramekins in a roasting pan and surround them with ice cubes to prevent cracking during broiling.
- Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully, until the sugar forms a deep golden-brown crust. Be cautious, as broiling can happen quickly.
- Let the crème brûlée cool slightly before serving. Enjoy chilled!
