Ooh fabulous! We're going through a citrus obsession in our house at the moment. This might be a great dessert to whip up on Friday when the cold nights hit again. Thanks!
Tes Benton says
I would like to make this. Can you please clarify - is light brown sugar the soft sugar or fine raw sugar?
delicieux says
Hi Tes, brown sugar is white sugar with molasses added. You can get 2 types of brown sugar at the supermarket. Light brown with up to 3.5% of molasses added and dark brown sugar with up to 6% of molasses. Raw sugar is different in that the sugar crystals are unrefined and larger. I find that using brown sugar in this helps add an extra depth of flavour, but by all means you can use regular sugar 😀 I hope that helps.

Is your "cornflour" the same as America's cornstarch?
delicieux says
Hi Hamich, yes, you can use cornstarch. Let me now how it goes.
Jenny says
Yum just about to make this and am just wondering about the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Is this added to the the milk and egg mixture?.
Jennifer says
Yes it is. 🙂 I hope you enjoy the pudding. It's my husbands favourite.
Pradipta says
Wow, this is really nice. A must try pudding dish. The season for orange is coming, I hope this winter I will definitely try this.
Penny says
Great recipe! I halved the sugar as my oranges are sweet & we don’t eat much sugar anyway & they were fabulous! Make them in a deep ramekin as you need to pot over all the juice mixture to get a good amount of sauce!
Nicole says
Thanks. I'm so glad you liked it!
Alison Drummond Jones says
Delicious! Light, not at all stodgy ... I halved the sugar in the sauce, and just used flour instead of cornflour - yum!
Nicole says
So glad you enjoyed it!
Marius says
Thank you. Just made this pudding. Result: perfect. Had it with ice-cream. Planning to make another as soon as possible.
Paula says
This was delightful so light, just right flavor, loved it! My ramekins were probably smaller than the ones used in this recipe, as everything boiled over. Thankfully they were on a sheet pan. I will divide it into eight servings to keep that from occurring in the future. So if you have small ramekins, that hold 3/4 C or 200ml, learn from my mistake.
Mandy says
I'm about to add poppy seed to mine,fingers crossed it turns out. I lobe orange and poppy seed cake. So keen as for this. Excellent way to use up oranges 🍊
Moira says

Melanie says
