Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 11-ounce box vanilla wafers (about 80 wafers)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 packet gelatin
4 cups milk
1/2 vanilla bean
1 1/2 cups orange juice
One to two 3.5-ounce packages dried sweetened orange slices

Steps:

  • In a food processor, process the vanilla wafers to crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse until the crumbs are moistened.
  • Press the crumbs into a 10-inch deep-dish tart pan to line the bottom and sides. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the sugar and the cornstarch. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the gelatin with 2 tablespoons cold water. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepot, combine the milk with another 1/4 cup of the sugar and the vanilla bean. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally.
  • A ladleful at a time, slowly pour the heated milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking to temper the yolks. When half of the milk has been added, pour the hot egg mixture back into the saucepot, whisking constantly. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbles start appearing on the surface.
  • Whisk the bloomed gelatin into the custard. Pour the custard through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any lumps or overcooked yolks.
  • Pour the strained custard into the tart shell and refrigerate for 1 hour, until set.
  • In a small saucepot, bring the orange juice and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar to a boil. Add the dried orange slices and simmer until syrupy, 10 minutes. Set aside to cool; the orange slices will continue to soften.
  • Remove the tart from the refrigerator and decorate with the orange slices in a fan pattern. Drizzle the tart with some of the orange syrup.
  • Place the tart back in the refrigerator for another hour, or until the candied oranges are set.

ORANGE AND AVOCADO NATILLA (MEXICAN CUSTARD PUDDING)



Orange and Avocado Natilla (Mexican Custard Pudding) image

A dearly loved and very light and thin custard style dessert from Mexico, natilla is a welcome sweet ending to a meal. In this recipe, the natilla is infused with reduced orange juice and gets extra creamy and nutty with the addition of avocado. Cacao nibs as a garnish round it out in a beautiful and balanced way.

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons cornstarch
5 egg yolks
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup ripe and completely mashed avocado
1/4 cup cacao nibs

Steps:

  • Pour the orange juice into a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Add the sugar, stir and, once it comes to a gentle simmer, 4 to 5 minutes later, cook for 5 minutes. Let cool.
  • In another saucepan, pour in the milk and place over medium-low heat. Once it comes to a simmer, remove from the heat.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the cream, cornstarch, egg yolks and salt until thoroughly combined. Gently pour the warm milk in a thin stream into the egg yolk mixture, beating well with a whisk or fork. Once mixed, pour the orange mixture into egg yolk-milk mixture in a thin stream, whisking as you do. Return the entire mixture to a saucepan and place over medium-low heat, bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Mix in the avocado, whisking thoroughly with a whisk or fork until thoroughly combined. Strain the mixture, using a fine strainer, onto a bowl.
  • Chill the mixture by placing the bowl over an ice bath. Cover the natilla with plastic wrap placed directly onto the custard so it will not create a film. Place in the refrigerator and let completely chill. Serve by spooning the natilla into bowls and garnish with cacao nibs.

SWEET-POTATO-CUSTARD PIE IN ORANGE CRUST



Sweet-Potato-Custard Pie in Orange Crust image

This recipe came to The Times in 1995 in a column about the novelist and farmer Dori Sanders, who cooked it for Thanksgiving on her farm in Flibert, S.C.. It is, some say, quite the best thing to do with a sweet potato. "People tell their life stories through food," Ms. Sanders said. "They talk about how they did it then, how they do it now. The way they talk tells you who they are."

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield One 10-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus flour for sprinkling the surface
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup chilled vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
3 to 4 tablespoons chilled orange juice
1 teaspoon sugar
Pinch of ground nutmeg
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
2 cups cooked, mashed and sieved sweet potatoes (about 2 large or 3 small sweet potatoes)
1/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup light cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Large pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • To make the crust, sift the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in the butter, shortening and orange rind with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture is crumbly.
  • In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of orange juice with the sugar and nutmeg. Using a fork, stir the orange-juice mixture into the flour mixture to form a soft dough, adding additional orange juice if necessary. Do not overmix. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 10-inch pie plate. Press the crust firmly into the plate and trim and crimp, or flute, the edges. Set aside.
  • For the filling, beat the eggs, sugar and sweet potatoes together in a medium bowl. Add the milk and light cream and stir until combined. Add the melted butter, orange juice, vanilla extract, lemon extract, salt and nutmeg, if using, and mix well.
  • Pour the mixture into the pie shell and bake until a knife inserted into the middle of the custard comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes.
