Looking for an elegant dessert that's easy to make? Try this Orange Bavarois — a silky, no-bake custard infused with real orange zest and a hint of sweetness.
Ingredients
Orange Milk Base
- 2 oranges zest and for garnish
- 500 g milk
- Custard & Yogurt Mixture
- 10 egg yolks
- 60 g sweetener zero-calorie sugar
- 25 g gelatin sheets soaked
- 300 g thick yogurt
Garnish
- Orange zest as needed
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Orange Milk
- Wash and zest the oranges, avoiding the white pith.
- In a saucepan, combine milk and orange zest. Heat gently over low heat until small bubbles appear around the edges (60–70°C). Do not boil.
- Cover and steep for 5 minutes to infuse the aroma.
- Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
Step 2: Mix Egg Yolks and Milk
- In a dry, clean bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sweetener until smooth and slightly pale (about 1 minute).
- Slowly pour the cooled milk into the egg yolks while stirring constantly to form a smooth custard base.
Step 3: Melt Gelatin and Combine with Yogurt
- Squeeze excess water from soaked gelatin sheets.
- Return the custard to the saucepan and heat gently. Add gelatin and stir until fully dissolved, keeping temperature around 50°C. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and whisk in thick yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Chill and Garnish
- Pour the mixture into pudding cups or small dessert glasses, filling about 80% full.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight until fully set.
- Sprinkle with fresh orange zest before serving.
