How to make it

  • Heat oven to 325F. Bring a pot of water to a lazy boil.
  • Whisk together orange juice, egg yolks, egg, and sugar.
  • Add cream and whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  • Pass the mixture through a strainer; stir in the orange rind.
  • Place 4 ramekins or pots de crème cups in a large roasting pan.
  • Divide the mixture evenly into the cups.
  • Pour enough boiling water in the pan to come halfway up the sides of the dishes and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Place on a middle rack in the oven and bake until the custard is just set around the edges -- approximately 40 minutes.
  • Remove the ramekins from the pan and allow them to cool.
  • Cover and chill in refrigerator at least 2 hours and as long as overnight.
  • Serve garnished with orange cookie wafers or orange slices (optional).
