Imagine a perfect combination of crispy textures and fresh orange flavors, transforming into a light and savory pudding. This orange pudding recipe with phyllo dough is a quick and simple dessert, ideal for impressing family or friends. Let’s discover together how to prepare it!
Necessary ingredients:
- 1/2 pack of phyllo dough (approximately 250 g)
- 4 eggs
- 200 g yogurt (preferably Greek for a creamier texture)
- 200 ml milk (can be replaced with almond milk for a vegan option)
- 150 g sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 large oranges (preferably organic to avoid chemicals)
- 1 packet of baking powder
Preparing the orange pudding:
1. Preparing the phyllo dough: Start by tearing the phyllo dough into smaller pieces, about 5-10 cm. They will absorb the flavors and contribute to the final texture of the pudding. Let them dry a bit while you handle the other ingredients.
2. Beat the eggs: In a large bowl, add the 4 eggs along with a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat them well until frothy. It’s important to incorporate enough air into the egg mixture so that the pudding is fluffy.
3. Add the sugar: While continuing to mix, gradually add the sugar. Mix until it completely dissolves and the mixture becomes homogeneous. The sugar not only sweetens but also helps caramelize the pudding during baking.
4. Incorporate the oil: With the mixer running, add the oil in a thin stream, just like when making mayonnaise. This step will ensure a smooth and rich texture.
5. Prepare the yogurt: In another bowl, mix the yogurt with the baking powder. This ingredient will help the pudding rise. If desired, you can also add a bit of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
6. Add the orange zest: Grate the zest of one orange (make sure to wash it well) and add it to the egg mixture. Here, the citrus aroma begins to emerge!
7. Incorporate the oranges: Peel the two oranges, remove the white membrane, and cut them into small cubes. Add them to the mixture, gently folding with a spatula to avoid crushing them.
8. Combine the ingredients: Add the pieces of phyllo dough to the egg and orange mixture. Make sure all the sheets are evenly coated. This step will give the pudding a crispy texture and a delicious flavor.
9. Pouring into the pan: Grease a pan with oil (a pan of about 20x30 cm would be ideal) and pour the mixture evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 40 minutes or until the pudding is golden and firm to the touch.
10. Cooling and serving: Once the pudding is baked, let it cool in the pan. Then, invert it onto a platter and cut into servings. You can sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top for an elegant look, or serve it with a yogurt sauce or whipped cream.
Practical tips:
- Use quality phyllo dough for a crispy texture. If you have time, you can make homemade phyllo dough, but store-bought is just as good.
- If you prefer a less sweet option, reduce the amount of sugar.
- You can experiment with other fruits, such as apples or pears, instead of oranges, adapting the recipe to your preferences.
