Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh orange zest
10 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Whisk together 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a 2-quart heavy saucepan. Whisk in 1/4 cup milk until smooth, then stir in remaining milk and zest. Bring to a boil over moderate heat, whisking frequently.
  • Have ready a bowl filled with ice and cold water. Whisk together yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in hot milk mixture, then transfer custard to saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture registers 170°F on an instant-read thermometer, 3 to 4 minutes. (Do not boil.)
  • Immediately pour custard through a fine sieve into a metal bowl set in ice water. Stir in vanilla. Cool, stirring frequently.

I followed the recipe exactly but my custard turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This custard is a bit too rich for my taste. I would recommend using less cream or milk.

I'm not a huge fan of custard, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making this again.
