I love this dessert. It has a delicious combination of flavours and textures – the orange in the custard and the richness of the chocolate and caramel create a rich treat.
Ingredients
Finely grated zest of 2 oranges160g dark chocolate buttons
600ml milk
250g caster sugar, plus 3 tbsp extra
120ml water
4 large eggs
2 egg yolks
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan-forced).Combine the orange zest and chocolate buttons in a small bowl. Bring the milk to a simmer in a small saucepan and pour over the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, then set aside for 5 minutes.
Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan and stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and cook, without stirring, until the mixture is a caramel colour. Pour the caramel into a 20cm ceramic ovenproof dish and swirl it around to coat the sides.
Whisk the eggs, egg yolks and extra sugar in a medium bowl until well combined. Add the milk mixture and stir until smooth, then pour through a strainer into the baking dish. Place the dish in a baking tray and carefully pour hot water into the tray until it reaches halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake for 1¼ hours or until just set. Remove and allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
To serve, run a warm dry knife around the edge of the dish and invert the crème caramel onto a plate.

Hot Tips
Pebre
The way the onions are prepared for the Pebre is a revelation and crucial for the right taste and texture. To finely chopped onion, mix through raw sugar and hot water then allow it to stand to mellow the acidity. Rinse and mix through salt in the same way.
