2. 1 cup of sugar
3. 4 heaping tablespoons of cornstarch

Instructions

Preparation:

Prepare the oranges:

1. Wash the oranges and cut them in half.
2. Using a juicer, carefully extract the juice without breaking the skin, as it will serve as a container for the custard.
3. Using a spoon, remove the leftover pulp from the inside of the shells to leave them clean. Set the shells aside.

Prepare the juice:

1. Strain the juice to remove any pulp remnants.
2. Add the sugar to the strained juice. For every 4 cups of juice, use 1 cup of sugar. Mix well and set aside.

Dissolve the cornstarch:

Take a small amount of the juice and dilute 4 heaping tablespoons of cornstarch. Mix well until there are no lumps.

Cooking the mixture:

1. In a medium pot, heat the juice over high heat until it begins to boil.
2. Once it boils, add the juice mixture with cornstarch. Stir constantly until it thickens.

Serve and refrigerate:

1. Fill the orange peels with the thick mixture.
2. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for the custard to set.

Presentation:

Decorate each orange "bowl" with a mint leaf or any aromatic herb of your choice.

Ready! A simple, elegant, and delicious dessert. Are you tempted to try it?
