Orange Creme Brulee Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Heat heavy cream and sugar over a double boiler until the sugar is dissolved. Add egg yolks and orange concentrate. Stir to blend well. Fill into desired dishes and bake in a water bath in the oven for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours until internal temperature of brulee is 170 degrees F. Cool overnight. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top and flame with a gas torch or carefully broil until sugar is caramelized.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly butter six 3/4-cup soufflé dishes or custard cups. Beat egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in medium bowl to blend. Bring cream, milk and orange peel to simmer in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Gradually whisk hot cream mixture into yolk mixture. Stir in Grand Marnier.
• Divide custard among prepared dishes. Set dishes in large baking pan. Add enough hot water to pan to come halfway up sides of dishes. Bake custards until just set in center, about 40 minutes. Remove from water. Cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat broiler. Arrange soufflé dishes on baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over each. Broil until sugar browns, rotating baking sheet for even browning and watching closely to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate 1 hour. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Bring orange juice, lemon juice, and lime juice to a boil in a saucepan; cook until reduced to about 2 tablespoons liquid, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Heat cream and 1/3 cup sugar together in a separate saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar completely dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes; remove from heat.
• Whisk egg yolks together in a bowl until frothy. Whisk reduced juice mixture into egg yolks until fully combined. Pour cream mixture in gradually, whisking constantly, until thin custard forms.
• Strain custard mixture through a fine sieve; divide into six 5-ounce ramekins. Place ramekins in a baking dish; pour in enough boiling water to come half way up the sides of ramekins.
• Bake in preheated oven until just set, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, cool slightly, and cover ramekins with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 4 hours.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Remove plastic wrap from ramekins. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar in a thin layer over top of each ramekin. Brown sugar under a broiler until golden and caramelized, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Put the zest and ginger in the cream and heat to just below simmering. Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit. Strain out the zest and ginger.
• Meanwhile cream the egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Add the cream very slowly mixing constantly. If you add it too quickly the egg yolk will cook from the heat of the cream. Try not to incorporate any air into the mix as you stir, air bubbles will detract from the smooth texture of the final product.
• Divide the mixture between 4 to 6 ramekins (will depend on the size of your ramekins). Place these in a lasagna pan and carefully pour water into the pan so that it comes up the outsides of the ramekins about 3/4 of the way up.
• Carefully put this pan in the oven. If you spill water into the ramekins it won't set -- don't spill!
• Bake about half an hour, or until the custards are set but still jiggly.
• Remove from the oven and take the ramekins out of the water bath. Allow to cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours, or up to 3 days.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle about a half tablespoon of sugar onto the custard. Spread it around evenly with a spoon or your finger, then use a blowtorch to caramelize the sugar. It should melt and brown a bit, but not burn. You can attempt to use the broiler in your oven to caramelize the sugar, but I have not had good success with this.
• Eat immediately. If you let them sit the sugar crust can pull water out of the custard and dissolve. Then you're eating flan, not creme brulee!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Put chocolate in a small metal bowl. In a heavy saucepan heat 1/2 cup cream over moderately high heat until it just comes to a boil and pour over chocolate. Let chocolate stand until softened and whisk mixture until smooth.
• In a bowl whisk together yolks, whole egg, and granulated sugar and whisk in chocolate mixture. In pan heat remaining 1 1/4 cups cream and milk until mixture just comes to a boil. Add milk mixture to egg mixture in a stream, whisking, and whisk in Grand Marnier and zest. Skim off any froth.
• Divide custard among eight 1/2-cup flameproof ramekins set in a roasting pan and add enough hot water to pan to reach halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake custards in middle of oven until they are just set but still tremble slightly, about 40 minutes. Remove ramekins from pan and cool custards. Chill custards, covered loosely with plastic wrap, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Set broiler rack so that custards will be 2 to 3 inches from heat and preheat broiler.
• Sift brown sugar evenly over custards and broil custards until sugar is melted and caramelized, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, raw sugar may be sprinkled over custards and caramelized with a blowtorch.) Chill custards 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 °F. (~160 °C).
• In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until thick and light in color. Add the cream, vanilla, and orange blossom water and continue to whisk until well blended.
• Divide the mixture among 4 ramekins or custard cups. Place in a water-bath (a large shallow pan of hot water, which surrounds the ramekins with gentle heat while baking and will prevent overheating and/or curdling.}.
• Bake for 40 min or until it sets around the edges and stays loose in the center. (The center should jiggle when the pan is tapped) Remove from the oven and leave in the water bath until cooled. Remove the cups from the water bath and chill for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
• Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of brown sugar over each crème brulée. Using a small hand held torch, burn the sugar until it caramelizes. Re-chill for a few minutes before serving.
• Serves 4.
