Orange cream

Orange cream is a smooth and velvety culinary ingredient made from fresh orange juice, sugar, eggs, and cream or milk. Its creamy texture and sweet and sour flavor make it an ideal complement for a wide variety of desserts, such as pies, ice cream, mousse, or even for spreading on breads and cookies.

This ingredient has its origins in European pastry, especially in French cuisine, where it is used to add a citrusy and creamy touch to preparations. Orange cream provides not only a refreshing and vibrant flavor but also a balance between sweetness and acidity.

Regarding its properties, orange cream is rich in vitamin C from the orange juice, in addition to containing fats and proteins provided by the cream and eggs, making it an energetic and nutritious option when consumed in moderate amounts.

In different regions of Latin America, orange cream may also be known as orange custard or citrus orange cream, terms that refer to similar preparations used in local pastry.
