4 navel oranges
1 tablespoon of butter
1/4 cup of all-purpose flour (30g)
1/4 cup of sugar (45g)
1/2 cup of heavy cream (120ml)
2 eggs (separated whites and yolks)
Preheat the oven to 250°C (very hot)
Thoroughly wash the oranges and carefully cut off a thin slice from the bottom of each one to prevent them from rolling away
Cut another slice at the top and process the oranges through an electric juicer, being careful not to damage the peel
Strain the juice, reserving 1 cup
Delicately remove any remaining pulp from the orange interiors and reserve
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over high heat
Add the all-purpose flour and stir for 1 minute with a wooden spoon
Join the sugar, reserved orange juice, and heavy cream and cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens (around 10 minutes)
In a small bowl, add a little of the creme and mix in the yolks
Fold this mixture back into the saucepan and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until it thickens again
Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming
Let cool
In an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form
Add this mixture to the reserved orange creme and mix delicately
Distribute the creme among the reserved orange shells and place in the preheated oven in a baking dish until puffed and golden (7 minutes)
