Prepare the cream: In a medium saucepan, over low heat, cook the milk, coconut milk, sugar, and cornstarch, stirring constantly, until thickened (approximately 8 minutes). Reserve
Peel the oranges and remove the white pith
Cut three of them into sticks and slice them up. Reserve
Cut the fourth orange into six thin slices and use them to line the bottoms of six molds with a diameter of 8.5 cm
Fill half of each mold with the cream, distribute the reserved orange pieces on top, and cover with the remaining cream
Let it set in the refrigerator for about 2 hours
Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, over high heat, combine the sugar and orange juice
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the sauce reaches a thick, syrupy consistency (test by dipping a spoon into the hot sauce and letting it cool slightly; if it forms a resistant thread, it's ready)
Remove from heat, add the liqueur, and mix well
Let it cool to room temperature (about 10 minutes)
Unmold the molds onto six plates, garnish with nasturtium flowers, and drizzle with the sauce

You can substitute them with other edible flowers, but never buy them from florists
