Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Orange juice
- 100 g Sugar
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 200 g Ladyfinger biscuits or sponge cake slices
- 2 large Oranges (peeled and thinly sliced)
- 1 tbsp Orange zest
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks. Whisk the mixture until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens into a custard-like consistency (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
Using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Fold the cooled orange custard into the whipped cream gently to create the creamy orange layer.
In a trifle dish or individual serving glasses, add a layer of ladyfinger biscuits or sponge cake slices to the bottom.
Spread a generous layer of the orange cream mixture on top of the cake layer.
Arrange a layer of thinly sliced orange slices on top of the orange cream.
Repeat the layers until the dish is filled, ending with a layer of the orange cream on top.
Sprinkle the top with orange zest and a dusting of powdered sugar for garnish.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
