Orange Brulee with Citrus Twist

Orange Brulee with Citrus Twist is a delectable dessert that will tantalize your taste buds with its creamy texture and tangy citrus flavor. This dish is perfect for those who love the combination of sweet and sour flavors.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 large orange
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest


To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. Cut the top off the orange and scoop out the flesh, leaving the rind intact. In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, sugar, vanilla extract, and citrus zest. Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
Pour the custard mixture into the hollowed-out orange rind. Place the orange in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the orange. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set.
Once the custard is set, remove the orange from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over the top of the custard and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy crust.
The Orange Brulee with Citrus Twist is a perfect combination of creamy custard and tangy citrus flavors. The appearance of this dish is stunning, with the caramelized sugar forming a beautiful golden crust on top of the orange. The taste is equally impressive, with the creamy custard perfectly balanced by the tangy citrus flavors.
This dish can be classified as a dessert and its three main ingredients are orange, heavy cream, and egg yolk.
