Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cream
  • ½ orange rind only
  • 2 tsp orange essence
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 tbsp sugar

Instructions
 

  • To a small saucepan, add the cream, orange rind and essence and heat through, then set aside.
  • Using an electric hand mixer, beat together egg yolks and sugar until pale white.
  • Remove the orange rind from the cream, then slowly add the cream to the eggs, a little at a time, continuing to beat as you add the cream.
  • Divide the mixture between two ramekins. Place the ramekins in an ovenproof dish, then pour boiling water into the dish, to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Place in oven and cook for 40 minutes at 150 C.
  • Remove from oven and cool completely, then cover in plastic wrap and place in fridge for at least an hour.
  • Before serving, sprinkle about 1/2 Tbsp of sugar over the top of each, then use a kitchen torch to caramelize. Cool for 2 minutes, serve and enjoy!
