To prepare this delicious and unique dessert, we start by ensuring that we have all the necessary ingredients on hand. We need fresh oranges, eggs, sugar, flour, and a little orange juice. The first step is to take care of the oranges. We carefully cut off the bottom of each orange so that they stand upright on a tray. Then, we cut off the top with a sharp knife, creating a lid that will be removed later. Using a spoon or a small knife, we carefully scoop out the fruit's pulp, leaving only the skin intact to be filled later.
Once we have finished preparing the oranges, we turn our attention to the eggs. We separate the egg whites from the yolks, being careful not to leave any traces of yolk in the egg whites, as this could affect the whipping process. In a bowl, we mix half of the sugar with the yolks, then add the flour and the freshly squeezed orange juice. This mixture will form the tasty base of our dessert.
In another bowl, we add the remaining sugar to the egg whites and start beating them with a mixer. It is important to achieve a firm foam that does not collapse. Once we have reached the desired consistency, we move to the bain-marie. Here, we will mix both compositions, the one with yolks and the one with egg whites, for about 10 minutes until they become creamy and thick. It is essential to stir continuously to avoid lumps.
Once the yolk mixture has thickened, we set it aside and begin to gradually incorporate 1/3 of the egg white mixture. We do this with slow and gentle movements to preserve the air in the foam. We continue to add egg whites until we achieve a homogeneous and fluffy mixture.
Now that we have the mixture ready, we carefully fill each orange with this composition, leaving a little space at the top, as it will rise during baking. We place the filled oranges on a tray lined with baking paper and put them in the preheated oven. We let them bake until they become golden and fluffy, and the aroma of orange will delight our senses.
In the end, we make sure to let them cool slightly before serving. This unique dessert will surely be a pleasant surprise for those who taste it! Enjoy!
