1 cup water (240 ml)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (90 g)
1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (90 g)
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons orange liqueur (Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
1 large orange (for garnish)
FOR THE SAUCE
1 cup water (240 ml)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (90 g)
Preheat the oven to 350°F (medium)
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and grated orange zest
Bring to a boil over high heat until the mixture forms bubbles on the surface. Reserve
In a separate bowl, beat the confectioners' sugar, eggs, and egg yolks with an electric mixer (chicote) until thickened
Gradually add the warm milk mixture, add the liqueur, and mix well
Divide this mixture among seven ramekins, each holding 1/2 cup
Place the ramekins in a baking dish with hot water (bain-marie) and bake for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted into the side comes out clean
Transfer the ramekins to a wire rack and let cool
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight
PREPARE THE SAUCE: in a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water and confectioners' sugar and stir until dissolved
Bring to a boil over high heat without stirring until the mixture forms a caramel
Reduce the heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until smooth
Remove from heat and let cool
Peel the orange, removing the white pith
Cut into segments and place two segments without peel or seeds on each ramekin
