Ingredients
For the Custard Bars:

- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups of whole milk, warmed
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Directions
Preparing the Custard Bars
- Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. - Mix the Egg Yolks and Sugar
Separate the eggs. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. - Incorporate the Flour
Gradually add the flour to the egg yolk mixture, mixing until smooth. - Add the Milk and Orange Juice
Slowly pour in the warm milk and orange juice while continuing to mix. Stir in the orange zest. - Beat the Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, a third at a time, until just combined. - Bake the Custard Bars
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is slightly jiggly. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.
Serving the Bars
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy the creamy texture and refreshing orange flavor!
Conclusion
These Orange Magic Custard Bars are a delightful addition to any dessert table. With their creamy center and vibrant citrus flavor, they’re sure to impress. Enjoy every magical bite!
