Orange Cream
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest (1 orange)
- 5 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons sifted cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Grand Marnier liqueur
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- Combine the milk and orange zest in a medium stainless-steel saucepan over medium heat and bring almost to a boil.
- Remove from the heat.
- Beat the egg yolks and sugar on medium-high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until pale and thick, about 5 minutes.
- With the mixer on low speed, sprinkle on the cornstarch.
- Beat on medium-low speed until combined, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture.
- Pour the mixture back into the pan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, 5 to 7 minutes.
- (Pay attention because it will thicken and then quickly become orange scrambled eggs!)
- Immediately, pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a large bowl.
- Stir in the vanilla, Grand Marnier, butter, and heavy cream.
- Place plastic wrap directly on the custard and refrigerate until cold.
