Ingredients
- 150 ml milk
- 100 ml fresh orange juice
- 40 g corn starch
- 65 g granulated sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
Instructions
- Heat the milk in a pot and add the orange zest and half of the sugar, stirring constantly until dissolved.

Notes
For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk. Fresh orange juice is recommended for the best flavor. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the custard. Experiment by adding other citrus flavors or even a bit of chocolate for a twist!
