Orange Cream
This delicate cream goes well on Panettone Christmas cake.
Grated zest from two untreated oranges
8 Tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice
4 Tbsp sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1. In a small pan mix the orange zest, orange juice and sugar over a low heat.
2. Mix constantly until the sugar melts in.
3. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 or 10 minutes.
4. While the orange sauce is cooling put the heavy cream in a bowl and mix with a hand mixer.
5. Continue mixing until fluffy.
6. Add a bit of the orange sauce to the cream and fold it in with a spoon. Continue like this until all the orange sauce is mixed into the cream.
If you have a Panettone cut it from top to bottom making wedges. Lay the pieces of cake on their sides and add some cream. Serve immediately or refrigerate the Orange cream until you are ready to serve.
This cream is enough for 4 to 6 servings.
Make sure the oranges are natural untreated ones otherwise the zest may contain insecticides.
