Crema de Naranja (Orange Cream): A Spanish recipe for a dessert of orange cream thickened with egg whites that's topped with meringue before being finished under a grill (broiler).

Ingredients

3 oranges
1 1/2 tbsp fine cornmeal
3 tbsp orange liqueur
6 egg whites
6 tbsp sugar
slivered almonds
mint leaves
butter
plain flour

Method:

Grate the zest of 1 orange and place in a bowl. Peel 2 oranges and remove the segments. Peel these segments. Juice the final orange and mix this juice with the fine cornmeal.

Combine the orange zest, orange segments and orange juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook the mixture until thickened. Take off the heat and set aside to cool.

Beat the egg whites until they stand in soft peaks. Stir in the sugar and beat until the whites stand in stiff peaks. Using a metal spoon, fold half the egg whites into the orange mixture.

Take individual ramekins and grease with butter then sprinkle with flour. Spoon in the orange cream then top with the remaining meringue. Sprinkle with the slivered almonds then place under a hot grill and cook for between 2 and 3 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Serve hot, garnished with mint leaves.
