Ingredients

  • 2 cups (472 ml) whole milk
  • 1 ½ cups (354 ml) orange juice
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 4 tablespoons corn starch/corn flour
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
  • 8 Oreo cookies outer cookie only, filling removed
  • 4 edible flowers

Instructions

  • Add the milk and orange juice to a saucepan. Whisk in the sugar and cornstarch until dissolved. Whisk in the egg yolks and orange zest.
  • Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, whisking frequently until thickened. Stir constantly to prevent sticking. If it begins to bubble too vigorously, reduce the heat. The custard will thicken further as it cools.
  • Divide evenly among four 4-ounce (150 ml) dessert bowls. Refrigerate until set.
  • Remove the filling from the Oreo cookies and add the cookies to a blender. Blend until finely crumbled.
  • Serve the custard topped with the Oreo crumbs and finish with an edible flower.
