Ingredients
- 1 package of puff pastry (400 g)
- 5 eggs
- 250 g sugar
- 200 g oil
- 400 g yogurt
- Orange essence (to taste)
- Juice of one orange
- 6 tablespoons of sugar (for syrup)
- 200 ml warm water
Ingredient Details
- Puff pastry: You can use store-bought puff pastry to save time. Make sure it is of good quality for a perfect result.
- Yogurt: Choose natural yogurt without additives for a healthier pie. Greek yogurt can add extra creaminess.
- Sugar: Sugar can be adjusted according to your preferences, but it is essential for balancing the acidity of the orange.
- Orange essence: This will enhance the aroma of the pie. You can also use grated orange peel for an additional note of freshness.
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Preparing the mixture: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until you obtain a smooth and fluffy mixture. Add the oil and continue mixing, then incorporate the yogurt and orange essence, stirring until well combined.
2. Preparing the pie crust: Meanwhile, set one sheet of pastry aside. Tear the remaining sheets of pastry into small strips and add them to the egg and yogurt mixture, gently mixing to avoid breaking the texture.
3. Assembling the pie: Grease a baking dish with oil and place the reserved pastry sheet at the bottom. Pour the yogurt mixture on top, evenly covering the pastry sheet, then fold the corners over the filling to seal the pie.
4. Baking: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place the dish in the oven and bake the pie for 30-35 minutes or until golden and passes the toothpick test.
5. Preparing the syrup: In a pan, caramelize the 6 tablespoons of sugar until brown. Carefully add warm water and stir until the caramelized sugar melts. Add the orange juice and let it boil for 1-2 minutes until the syrup becomes smooth.
6. Finishing the pie: Remove the pie from the oven and pour the warm syrup over it, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Let it absorb the syrup for 30 minutes before slicing.
Serving and Variations
This yogurt and orange syrup pie is delicious both warm and cold. You can serve it plain or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enhance its flavor by adding orange slices or toasted almond flakes on top.
