This is a great, different caramel recipe that I've had forever. I make these for my Christmas boxes, rolled in toasted coconut, and they are always a favorite.

ORANGE CREME CARAMELS ELEGANT AND EASY!
I love a custard/flan dessert. This is one of the best recipes that I have come across. I found this several years ago in my collection from Gourmet during our move. I was so thrilled when I found it, as I had forgotten how good this one was! Cooks' notes: • To make 1 large crème caramel instead of individual ones, bake in a 9-inch glass pie plate in hot water bath 1 to 1 1/4 hours. • Crème caramels can be chilled up to 2 days. Special equipment: 6 (6-oz) ramekins

Steps:
- Finely grate zest from oranges, then squeeze enough juice to measure 1 cup.
- Pour juice through a fine sieve into a 2-quart heavy saucepan, discarding pulp, and stir in 1 cup sugar.
- Bring to a boil over moderately high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil, without stirring but washing down any sugar crystals with a brush dipped in cold water and skimming froth as necessary, until syrup begins to turn golden, about 5 minutes.
- Continue to boil, swirling pan occasionally, until syrup is a deep golden caramel. Immediately divide caramel among ramekins, tilting if necessary to coat bottoms.
- Preheat oven to 325°F and line bottom of a small roasting pan with a folded kitchen towel.
- Bring milk and zest just to a simmer over moderate heat, then remove from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
- Whisk together whole eggs, yolks, and remaining 3/4 cup sugar in a large bowl, then whisk in warm milk.
- Pour custard through fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on and discarding solids. Divide custard among ramekins and arrange ramekins in roasting pan.
- Carefully add enough hot water to pan to reach halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake in middle of oven until custard is just set (but still trembles slightly in center), 50 minutes to 1 hour.
- Run a thin knife around side of each ramekin to loosen, then transfer ramekins to a rack and cool. Chill, loosely covered, at least 2 hours.
- To unmold, invert plates over ramekins and invert custards onto plates.

Tips:
- Use fresh oranges: The fresher the oranges, the better the flavor of your crème caramels will be.
- Zest your oranges before juicing them: This will release the essential oils from the orange peel and give your crème caramels a more intense flavor.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help prevent the sugar from burning as you make the caramel.
- Be careful not to overcook the caramel: If you cook it for too long, it will become bitter.
- Strain the custard mixture before pouring it into the ramekins: This will remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
- Bake the crème caramels in a water bath: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from curdling.
- Chill the crème caramels for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow them to set properly.
Conclusion:
Orange crème caramels are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With their creamy texture, rich orange flavor, and beautiful presentation, they are sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give these orange crème caramels a try!
