How to Make Allison Diana S Orange Custard
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream and ¾ cup granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition to ensure complete incorporation.
- Stir in ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice and the zest of 1 large orange.
- Divide the mixture evenly among 4 (6-ounce) ramekins or oven-safe coffee cups.
- Place the ramekins in a larger baking dish. Carefully pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a bain-marie for even cooking).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish with fresh orange zest or a sprig of mint before serving (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
