Ingredients
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 large egg
- 1½ cups milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- grated zest of 1 large orange
- 2 T. unsalted butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. orange extract
Preparation
In medium bowl, whisk cornstarch into orange juice until dissolved; whisk in yolks and egg. In medium saucepan, whisk milk, sugar and zest until just steaming. Slowly whisk milk-and-sugar mixture into egg mixture; pour back into saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking steadily until thickened; it should come just to boiling. Press through strainer, then whisk in butter until melted. Add vanilla and orange extracts. Chill, covered with a piece of plastic wrap or buttered waxed paper pressed directly onto the cream.
Makes about 2 cups.
