I don't really make dessert but if I did have people round this is my go to. I think it's the blow torch that appeals. You can make without the orange and they're still delightful.
Ingredients
500 ml double cream
100g caster sugar
Vanilla Pod
Orange essence (optional)
6 egg yolks
Sugar for serving (I prefer brown but any will do)
Chocolate orange segments for serving (optional)
Method
Pour cream into pan and scrape vanilla pod in. Add stalk.
Add a few drops of orange flavouring (optional)
Bring to boil, simmer for 5 mins
Beat the sugar and egg yolks until fluffy
Bring the cream back to boil and pour over the eggs.
Whisk until thickened
Pour into ramekins
Place in bain-marie
Cook for 40-45 minutes until set but wobbly
Chill
For serving, sprinkle with an even layer of sugar and caramelise with a blow torch. Alternatively caramelise under grill.
If adding chocolate orange segments do this after caramelising.
