3 Delicious Alternative Noche Buena Recipes by Award-Winning Chefs

 

Crema Catalana (low calorie)

 

Yield: 4 servings (4 oz each)

 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups low-fat milk
• 3 tbsp sugar (may substitute with raw or coco sugar)
• 4 tbsp Cornstarch
• Zest of an orange
• A pinch of ground cinnamon
• 3 free-range egg yolks
• 4-6 tbsp white sugar, for garnish

 

Procedure:

1. In a sauce pot combine milk, sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, orange zest and ground cinnamon. Make sure to dissolve the cornstarch and remove all lumps.
2. Place over medium heat and whisk continuously until the mixture becomes thick. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
3. Using 4 ramekins (½ cup capacity each), divide the custard mixture between the ramekins.
4. Place in the chiller and allow to set for at least 4-6 hours. Overnight is best.
5. To serve, sprinkle an even layer of sugar on top of each ramekin. Using a blowtorch, burn the sugar to make a caramel layer on top.
