For this recipe, you will need 4 x 10cm/4in shallow terracotta dishes

Method


  1. Heat the oven to 140C/275F/Gas1.

  3. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and thick and add the cream. Stir well, strain and pour over the orange segments.

  5. Sprinkle sugar thinly and evenly over each dish and caramelise with a blowtorch (or under a very hot grill), repeat this process until you have golden crackling topping.

  6. Leave to cool and serve within 2 hours.
