Step 1: prepare the cream.

Pour the required amount of cream into a deep bowl and place it under the clean mixer blades. Turn on the kitchen appliance at medium speed and beat the dairy product until stable peaks form. This process should be treated with full attention! Main - Do not whip the cream too much otherwise they will curl up into flakes, and the cream will not work. When they acquire the desired airy texture, cover the bowl with the whipped snow-white mass with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator until you use the cream.

Step 2: prepare orange cream.

Now take a small saucepan, put sugar, sifted wheat flour and orange zest into it. Pour in orange juice, lemon juice and add a shelled chicken egg.

Place a fine mesh sieve on the surface of a clean deep bowl. Pour the orange mixture into it, wipe it with a wooden kitchen spatula and cool to room temperature. Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the orange mixture in the refrigerator for 20 – 30 minutes.

After the required time has passed, combine the chilled cream with the orange mixture in one bowl and mix them until smooth. Cover the bowl with the finished cream again with cling film and place it in the refrigerator for 10 – 15 minutes and then use it for its intended purpose.

How to make orange cream, step-by-step recipe with photos:

Step 1. Mix sugar with sifted starch, vanilla and other spices to taste.

It is necessary to sift the starch in order to get rid of lumps in the cream.

Step 2. Add 3 whole eggs and 2 yolks to sugar and starch.

Since orange does not have natural gelling properties, the cream must be thickened with third-party products. In our case, starch and egg yolks serve as thickeners.

Step 3. Prepare your own orange juice by squeezing 2-3 oranges or purchase it at the store. Strain it from the pulp.

If you like a rich citrus flavor and aroma, add the zest of one or two oranges to the orange cream. If you want a more delicate taste, limit yourself to juice.

Step 4. Heat the orange juice and add the egg mixture in a thin stream. Keep on low heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 5. Bring the cream to thicken, cover it end-to-end with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours until completely cooled.

At this time, remove the butter from the refrigerator; it should be warm and soft to add to the cream.

Step 6: Once the orange cream has cooled completely and the butter has softened and reached room temperature, begin whisking.

At medium mixer speed, beat the orange cream until fluffy and add a tablespoon of butter to it, beating the mixture thoroughly each time.

Oil stabilizes the cream, makes it more resistant to heat and gives it a light creamy taste. The butter cream holds its shape well.

Add orange cream to spiced honey cakes, fill or sandwich with it.
