Blood Orange Creme Brûlée

A big hello to all the Readers of Redfly Creations! I have to firstly thank Melissa for inviting me to guest post on her amazing blog, it was such and honour to get her email asking me, needless to say I jumped at the chance. 

I run Little Box Brownie, a blog on the complete opposite side of the world from Redfly Creations, in Melbourne, Australia. Little Box Brownie is a pretty new blog, having started late last year. The majority of the recipes are sweet as I love to bake, however occasionally throw in the odd savoury recipe when the mood suits. 

I am not a trained chef or baker I just do it for the love, we all have to have find something that we love and mine is baking and photography. I'm lucky enough to work as a professional photographer and run my own little studio here in Melbourne.

Little box brownie is a fulfilment of my passion and I love being able to share my recipes and photos with people from all around this beautiful world of ours.

When Melissa asked me guest post I wasn't sure what to make, this recipe was something I had been tinkering with for awhile so though this was the perfect excuses to make it. I hope you enjoy it.

Blood Orange Creme Brulee Tart

Pastry

175 g butter

1 3/4 cup flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tablespoon water

Filling

1 1/2 cup juice from blood oranges

1 cup sugar

4 eggs

2/3 cup of cream

Pre heat the oven to 180°C or 350°F

To make the pastry, place the butter, flour and sugar into a food processor and pulse until the mixture becomes fine bread crumbs. Add the egg and water and pulse until a dough forms, remove from the processor and form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

To make the filling, place the blood orange, sugar, eggs and cream into a bowl and beat until combined. Set aside

Once the dough has chilled roll out on a floured surface until about 2mm thick, then place in 10cm tart tins and blind bake for 10mins, remove the beads and bake for a further 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and pour the filling in trying to discard the froth that has formed on the top of the filling mixture. Place back into the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes or until cooked.

Create a Summer-Fun Gallery with your Kids!

I'm so excited to announce a special summer series here at Redfly Creations that is just for kids!  Our series begins today and will take place on Fridays until the beginning of August.  There will be craft ideas, recipes and fun activities for you to do with your kiddos this summer.  They will all be tested by my kiddos first in order to make sure they're a hit.  :)  

So, today's activity is to create a wall filled with your summer memories that you add to each day.  Last year we had fun making and writing in a summer journal.  We did a pretty good job writing about the fun events we participated in.  This year,  I decided we would work on our art skills.  In order to do this, we came up with Summer Memory Gallery Wall using index cards!  Since our Homework Station Wall is not in use during the summer, we decided it would work just perfectly to showcase our Gallery.

The kiddos take a card and draw something that was fun for them each day.  In our case, we are having just one of three children draw a card each day.  Depending on your number of kids and wall space, you can switch it up however you want.  

We have fun looking at our Summer Gallery Wall.   We've already made some great memories!

Feel free to print this "Summer Fun- Kid's Edition" sign here and join us next Friday for the next fun activity!

Happy Summer!
