I would also suggest that whilst it is an unctuous and delightful filling, I would think that just thr orangecurdfilling alone without the cream would be good for those who are after a citrussy kick rather than a hint, (namely, me
Lemon CreamandShortbreadwith a strawberry coulis. Decorate with basil and icing sugar before adding the strawberry coulis as artistically as you know how

This recipe could be used to make an orange tart (just fill a pre-baked pastry case with the curdand let cool/set in the case), spoon onto pancakes or crumpets, add a dollop onto ice cream, layer it on top of your muesli or even use it as a base for a sauce to go with duck
A delightful butterfly cake filled withorangecurdandorange flavoured butter cream frosting. a) This past winter has been a long and dark one and I have found the poor light quality caused by low cloud cover (usually filled with rain whipped horizontally at the window by gale force winds) to be a deterrent from trying to take decent food photos
