Ingredients:
Pastry cream
150g milk
Zest of 1 orange (fine zest)
½ vanilla pod
30g caster sugar
10g flour
5g Cornflour
3 egg yolks
10g Westgold Unsalted Butter
30g orange juice – reduced over heat by half
5g orange liqueur
Meringue

30g sugar
Method
Pastry cream:
Brush the moulds with softened butter and dust with castor sugar.
Make up a basic pastry cream infusing the zest into the milk and finishing with Westgold butter.
Finally stir in orange juice and liqueur.
Directly cover surface with clingfilm in a bowl to avoid skin forming.
Meringue:
Whisk pastry cream to soften it to smooth consistency.
Stir in 25% of the meringue to temper then carefully fold in the remainder.
Spoon into the moulds and smooth off the tops with a palette knife.
Run a small knife around the top edge of the moulds to release the mixture allowing for even rise. Bake on a tray in a moderately hot oven (190°C) until risen and set.
Serve straight from the oven dusted with icing sugar, garnish with freeze dried oranges.
