Orange cream with berries

One of the digestive desserts that I like after the New Year's Eve is an orange cream with berries. It is very soft, light and easy to do.

For 4 servings you will need:
4 oranges

1 lemon

125g sugar

140g of butter

2 egg yolks

2 eggs

20g cornstarch

To decorate you need a handful of some red fruit such as raspberries, blueberries or small strawberries. Being New Year’s Eve, we have chosen icing cherries.

The steps are:

1. First grate the skin of an orange and reserve it;
2. In a separate bowl, beat very well the 2 eggs, 2 egg yolks, 75g sugar and 20g cornstarch, until you get a smooth cream; 
3. Then squeeze the juice of 3 oranges and lemon; 
4. Strain the juice and add 75g of sugar and 140g butter. Heat the mixture until it begins to boil;
5. Add to the cream the juice and the zest of the orange that we have previously reserved, beat very well and cook the resulting cream over low heat, stirring until the cream thickens;
6. Once the cream thickens, let it cool and then put it in the refrigerator until it will be completely cool; 
7. Finally decorate it with red fruit that you like.

Enjoy!
