Pudim De Laranja, or Brazilian Style Orange Flan, is a creamy and sweet dessert that's popular in Brazil and throughout Latin America. Made with freshly squeezed orange juice, sweetened condensed milk, and eggs, it has a rich and creamy texture that melts in your mouth. Topped with a caramelized sugar syrup, it's a sweet treat that's perfect for any occasion, from dinner parties to weeknight dinners at home. While it may take some time to prepare and bake, the end result is well worth the effort, as Pudim De Laranja is sure to become a family favorite in no time.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.	In a blender, add the sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed orange juice, eggs, and orange zest.
3.	Blend until smooth.
4.	In a saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat. Once melted, swirl the pan to ensure that the sugar caramelizes evenly.
5.	Pour the sugar caramel into a 9-inch (23-cm) round cake pan and ensure that the bottom is entirely coated. Let the caramel cool for a few minutes.
6.	Pour the blended mixture into the cake pan.
7.	Place the cake pan in a larger baking dish and fill the larger dish with boiling water until it reaches halfway up the cake pan.
8.	Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
9.	Let the flan cool at room temperature, then transfer it to the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
