Ingredients

20 minutes
2 to 4 servings
  1. 2 1/2 cupswhole milk (600 ml)
  2. 1cinnamon stick
  3. Orange and lemon peel
  4. 4egg yolks
  5. 1/4 cupcornstarch (30 grams)
  6. 2 1/2 tablespoonssugar (30 grams)
  7. Brown sugar for caramelizing

Cooking Instructions

20 minutes
  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients.

  2. 2

    In a saucepan, add the 2 1/2 cups whole milk, cinnamon stick, and the orange and lemon peels. Heat until just about to boil, then remove from heat and cover.

  3. 3

    Separate the egg yolks from the whites. In a bowl, combine the yolks with the 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar. Mix well until smooth, then add the 1/4 cup cornstarch and stir until fully combined.

  4. 4

    Gradually add the reserved milk mixture to the bowl, stirring a little to combine. Pour everything back into the saucepan and start cooking over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Stir constantly (to prevent sticking). When the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes, depending on the heat), the custard is ready.

  6. 6

    Pour the custard into serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for about 3 hours. Sprinkle brown sugar on top and caramelize with a kitchen torch. Enjoy!
