Prep Time:20 minutes

Ingredients

Baked yoghurt

  • 2 cups full fat Greek style yoghurt
  • 1 cup 1 x 380gm tin condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup milk powder
  • finely grated zest of an orange
  • handful of almonds skin on (toasted or raw), roughly chopped – optional

Spicy brandy oranges

  • 1/2 cup orange juice about 2 oranges
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 star anise pods
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • segments from 3 oranges

Instructions

  • Pre heat the oven to 180C/350F.
  • In a bowl combine all of the above and whisk by hand until smooth and combined.
  • Empty into a wide flatish ceramic or cast iron oven proof dish. Place the dish in a high sided roasting tray and fill the tray with hot water to about 3/4 of the way up the sides. Bake for 40 minutes until starting to turn golden and set.
  • Remove from the oven, take out the water bath and allow to cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until cold and serve. This can be made the day before.
  • Carefully top the ends of the oranges and peel away the skin and pith. Make sure you remove it all. Slice the segments out of the oranges and add to a bowl. Strain out any excess juice (squeeze the remaining part of the orange)and use this to make the syrup.
  • To make the orange syrup, add the juice, spices and sugar to a pot and bring it the boil. Let this simmer for a further 10 minutes and until it has thickened. Set aside to cool.
  • Once cool and you are ready to serve, take out the spices and pour the syrup over the orange segments. Arrange a pile of these on the baked yoghurt. Add chopped almonds.
