How to Make Scorched Oranges Oranges Brulees

  1. Peel 4 large oranges, removing all pith and white membrane. Slice thinly into rounds.
  2. Arrange orange slices in a shallow, 5-cup oven-safe dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier or your favorite orange liqueur.
  3. In a medium bowl, lightly whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in 1/2 cup sour cream.
  4. Spread the cream mixture evenly over the orange slices.
  5. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. A few minutes before serving, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of demerara sugar evenly over the top. Broil in a preheated broiler until the sugar is melted and caramelized, watching carefully to prevent burning (approximately 1-2 minutes).
