Ingredients
10 ingredients- 200 ml fresh orange juice, for the filling
- 2 tablespoons sugar, for the filling
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch, for the filling
- 350 ml sweetened whipping cream
- 300 g Savoiardi biscuits
- Approximately 200 ml milk, for dipping
- 300 ml fresh orange juice, for the topping
- 2 tablespoons sugar, for the topping
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch, for the topping
- Coconut flakes, optional, for decorating
Method
8 steps- Whisk 200 ml fresh orange juice with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a saucepan until smooth. Cook while stirring until it reaches a boil and thickens, then remove from the heat and leave it to cool completely.
- Line a 25 cm mould or deep dish with food-safe plastic wrap. Cut some of the Savoiardi in half as needed to fit the sides of the mould.
- Pour the milk into a shallow bowl. Briefly dip the Savoiardi in the milk and arrange them closely around the sides of the mould.
- Whip the sweetened cream until thick and creamy. Beat in the cooled orange mixture until evenly combined, then spread the orange cream inside the lined mould.
- Cover the orange cream with another layer of Savoiardi briefly dipped in milk. Cover with plastic wrap, press the surface gently and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- For the topping, whisk the remaining 300 ml orange juice with 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Cook while stirring until it boils and thickens, then remove from the heat and cool completely.
- Remove the chilled cake from the refrigerator and invert it carefully onto a flat serving plate. Remove the mould and plastic wrap.
- Decorate the sides with optional coconut flakes. Stir the cooled orange topping until smooth, spread it evenly over the cake and serve chilled.
