Ingredients
Orange:
- 1300 gram Orange 4 pieces, large
- 1150 gram Sugar
- 350 gram Water
- 1 gram Vanilin
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon acid
Cream:
- 400 gram Cream cheese the type of Philadelphia, Almette
- 50 gram Sugar powder
- 300 gram Cream (35%)
Instructions
- We will need 4 large oranges with thick skins.
- Using a grater, remove the zest from the oranges.
- Put the oranges in a saucepan with hot water and cook for 10 minutes from the start of boiling. Repeat this step 1 more time. Drain and cool slightly.
- With the help of a special device for cutting out the core of apples, like this -
- Cut off the core from the side of the stalk, which connects the orange slices.
- Cut the oranges in half (horizontally, with a hole on top).
- Pour half of the sugar into a saucepan and put the oranges on it.
- Pour the remaining sugar on top and pour in water (350 ml boiling water).
- Cook over medium heat, constantly removing the appetizing foam. I turned the oranges every 15 minutes (cooked for 60 minutes). Look at the orange pulp at the beginning of cooking!
- And this is what it looks like at the end.
- Before removing the pan from the heat, add vanilla, then lemon juice and citric acid (in that order!). Lift the mold and mix the additives in a circular motion. Take out the mold and leave the oranges in the syrup for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer the oranges with a slotted spoon to a plate, so they will cool down faster.
- Using a small container, gently press down the orange pulp to make a recess for the cream.
- Here's how it should work.
- Cream: Whisk cream with 25 grams of powder until soft peaks. Rub cream cheese with 25 g of powder.
- In several steps, enter the cream cheese cream, stirring gently with a spatula. The cream turns out to be very delicate and airy.
- Pour the cream over the oranges and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Place 1 tablespoon of praline on a plate.
- Put an orange in the center, sprinkle with lemon zest and pour over the cold syrup left over from cooking oranges.
