Cream Custard
The cream custards will keep for one to two days in the refrigerator. Decorate with the caramelized orange rind just before serving.
Ingredients
- 450ml of light cream
- 100 grams of caster sugar
- 1 orange
- 2 teaspoons of grated nutmeg
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Method
- Place the cream and sugar in a large non-stick saucepan and heat gently, until the sugar caramelizes
- Finely grate half of the orange rind and add it to the pan along with the nutmeg
- Add the eggs to the mixture in the pan and cook over a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring constantly. The custard will eventually thicken.
- Strain the custard through a fine sieve, into 4 shallow serving dishes. Leave to chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, pare the remaining orange rind and cut it into matchsticks.
- Place the honey and cinnamon in a pan with 2 tablespoons of water and heat gently. Add the orange rind to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring until the mixture has caramelized.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and separate out the orange sticks. Leave to cool until set.
- Once the custards have set, decorate them with the caramelized orange rind and serve
