Orange Custard Dessert Cups with Chocolate Touch

(mydeliciousmeals.com)Alena Tarasevich

Enjoy the creamy texture of this delicious custard, beautifully complemented by the citrusy notes of orange flavor.

Similar to favorites like panna cotta or crème brûlée, but without the fuss, it boasts the comforting consistency of thick pudding. Crafted with just four simple ingredients - oranges, heavy cream, eggs, and sugar - this orange custard recipe requires no thickeners like corn starch or gelatin, keeping it wonderfully straightforward and pure.

Serve this custard in orange shells with removed flesh for beautiful presentation, topped with chocolate shavings. It's the perfect dessert for those who enjoy a delightful and refreshing treat, without the need for much time in the kitchen.
