Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges will give your squares a brighter flavor and more vibrant color.
  • Zest your oranges before juicing them: This will help release the orange's essential oils and give your squares a more intense flavor.
  • Don't overcook the orange curd: The orange curd should be thick and creamy, but not too thick. If you overcook it, it will become grainy.
  • Chill the orange curd before using it: This will help it to set and make it easier to spread.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the squares: This will help to prevent the squares from crumbling.
  • Serve the squares chilled: This will help the orange curd to set and make them even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Orange creme squares are a delicious and refreshing dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your orange creme squares turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give orange creme squares a try!
